IELTS
IELTS provides a profile of a test taker’s ability to use English. Results are reported as band scores, on a scale from 1 being the lowest to 9 being the highest. Test takers receive an overall band score and individual scores
for each test component (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking). This 9-band scale has been a standard English proficiency measuring system for the past three decades.
There are two different IELTS tests – Academic or General Training – depending on their academic or professional aims, or visa requirements.
All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking components but different Reading and Writing components depending on whether or not they opted for general or Academic IELTS.
