📘 What is IELTS?

If you’re planning to study, work, or settle abroad in countries like 🇦🇺 Australia, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇬🇧 the UK, or 🇺🇸 the USA, proving your English proficiency is a must! 🌍 The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is one of the most recognised tests to assess your skills in Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking 🗣️📚✍️👂.

📚 Types of IELTS Exams

• IELTS Academic 🏫: Perfect for students applying to universities or colleges in English-speaking countries. It uses academic vocabulary and prepares you for lectures, assignments, and university life. Also accepted for professional registrations.
• IELTS General Training 💼: Great for those looking to study below degree level, gain work experience, or migrate. It focuses more on everyday English used in social and workplace situations.

📝 IELTS Test Format

✨ Listening (30 mins): 4 recordings + 40 questions.
🎤 Speaking (11–14 mins): A face-to-face interview with the examiner.
📖 Reading (60 mins): 3 sections with 40 questions. Content varies for Academic vs. General.
✍️ Writing (60 mins): 2 tasks – formal or informal depending on the test type.

📊 IELTS Band Score System

IELTS uses a 9-band scale to measure your English skills. The higher your score, the better your proficiency. For instance, a score of 8.0 means you’re very fluent, while 5.0 shows you need improvement.
