Maximum - IELTS

Here is your opportunity to open doors to the world.

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System (www.ielts.org), is designed to assess the English language ability of candidates who want to study or work in countries where English is the language of communication.

Research shows that IELTS motivates test-takers to develop real and well-rounded English rather than learning by rote. This means your understanding of English is improved and valid for real life in an English-speaking country.

You can trust the quality and security of IELTS because it is jointly owned by three reputable, international organisations: British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL).

IELTS tests all four language skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking. The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview with a certified Examiner. It is interactive and as close to a real-life situation as a test can get.

IELTS is available in two test formats. It can be for academic or general training.

General Training		Academic Training
(For school, work or migration) The General Training format focuses on basic survival skills in broad social and workplace contexts. It is typically for those who are going to English-speaking countries to do secondary education, work experience or training programs. People migrating to Australia, Canada and New Zealand must sit the General Training test.		(For Institutions of Higher and Further Education) The Academic format is, broadly speaking, for those who want to study or train in an English-speaking university or Institutions of Higher and Further Education. Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses is based on the results of the Academic test.

The choice of IELTS test depend on whether you want to study, work or migrate to countries like America, Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom.

All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking modules but different Reading and Writing modules.

Both modules are made up of four parts - Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. IELTS results are graded on the unique IELTS 9-band scale.

Listening, Reading and Writing must be completed in one day. Depending on your test centre, the Speaking test may be offered on the same day or up to a week before or after the other parts. See below for a diagram of the test format.

To help you prepare, IELTS provides test samples and Official IELTS Practice Materials. The test covers the full range of ability from non-user to expert user. You are not limited in how many times you can sit the test.
