More Information
The ILETS is accepted by most Australian, British, Canadian and New Zealand academic institutions. American academic institutions are increasingly accepting IELTS for admissions purposes.
The IELTS is jointly managed by The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), The British Council and IDP Education Australia: IELTS Australia, so you can contact any of these organizations for more information about the test.
Note: there is an academic version and a general proficiency version. If you are applying to universities, you must take the academic version.
The IELTS consists of 4 sections and takes 3 hours to complete:
Listening | 4 sections | 40 items | 30 minutes |
Academic Reading | 3 sections | 40 items | 60 minutes |
Academic Writing | 2 tasks | 150/250 wds | 60 minutes |
Speaking | 10-15 minutes |
Candidates receive a separate score for each section and an overall score. Scores are given on a band scale from 1 to 9, with one representing almost no English ability and 9 representing total fluency.
You can obtain practice materials for the test, called IELTS Specimen Materials, at the www.ielts.org website or at your nearest test center. You can also find out about preparation courses at the centers listed below.
Note: this list is not complete, check the website if you dont find a centre near you in the list below.
