When migrating or studying overseas, especially in English speaking countries, it is necessary to prove your language proficiency. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the most popular English language test in the world. The IELTS assesses all English language skills- listening, reading, writing and speaking. Its format is designed to reflect the use of English in real life whether it is at work, study or at play.

IELTS is administered by 3 international organizations of repute- IELTS Australia, British Council and Cambridge ESOL (The University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations).

• Academic: This format is majorly aimed at aspiring students who wish to study in an English speaking educational Institute. Admissions into undergraduate and postgraduate courses are done on the basis of the IELTS Academic Test results.
• General Training: This format is for aspiring immigrants who wish to work and settle in English speaking countries. English is the main language spoken at the workplace and society in general in such countries. This test format assesses the candidate’s proficiency for basic survival in these countries. For immigration to Canada, New Zealand, and Australia you need to take this test.

The scoring in IELTS is done from 1 to 9 with 1 being the lowest and 9 the highest. Individual scores are given in each of the modules- Listening, Speaking, Writing and Reading. The Overall Score is produced from your scores in the individual modules. The 9-Band system of scoring is consistent irrespective of the place and country where the test is taken. Also, there is no fail or pass in IELTS.
