IELTS evaluates the language capability of individuals who need to work or study where English is a dialect of correspondence. In a way, IELTS can be called a gateway to English-speaking countries like the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The IELTS exam comprises of a nine-band scale to recognize levels of capability, from band score 1 (non-user) to band score 9 (expert). The four areas where the IELTS, checks the compatibility of individuals are: Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading.

There is NO benchmark of minimum passing marks needed in the IELTS exam. An IELTS Test Report Form is provided to all the candidates who had taken up the test. The scores are allotted between band scores of 1 to 9, where a score of 1 refers to non-user while a score of 9 refers to expert. The colleges/universities/institutions across the English-speaking countries lay down their own specific benchmark for the admission criteria. For example, most of the colleges and universities in Canada set a threshold of a minimum overall band score of 6.5 and individual band score of 6.0 in each of the 4 sections (Listening, Reading, Writing & Speaking). For those who are not able to attend the test, a band score of ‘0’ is given. Additionally, Institutions do not consider an IELTS score, which is older than two years, as applicable.

International English Language Testing System - Test Date

The IELTS exam can be given in two formats:

  1. Academic – Academic IELTS is meant for individuals who wish to apply for advanced education or professional registration. This format checks the individual’s compatibility in certain aspects of academic language and gauges if he or she is prepared to study or train. This format of IELTS is broadly accepted by the schools/colleges/universities across the countries that recognize IELTS.
  2. General Training – General Training IELTS is meant for those moving to various English-speaking countries (like the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, etc), for reasons like applying for secondary education, working on projects, and involvement in an English-speaking milieu. Additionally, IELTS General Training is a prerequisite for migration to the above-mentioned English-speaking nations—the test centers on essential survival skills from wide social and professional perspectives.

Both the above adaptations give a legitimate and precise evaluation of the four facets of language aptitudes: Listening, Reading, Writing, and speaking. The main distinction between the General Training and Academic formats of IELTS is the objective and content of the Reading and Writing sections, although the Speaking and Listening sections for both formats are similar. The remaining characteristics like time allotted for each section, length of written answers, and assigning of scores remain unchanged.

IELTS General Training and Academic both consist of the following traits:

  1. Both the formats of IELTS test the capabilities to write, read, listen, and speak in English.
  2. The speaking section is accomplished as a one-to-one interview with an examiner. The examiner examines the candidate while he or she is speaking. Moreover, the speaking section is recorded for supervision and for re-evaluation if the candidate decides to plead against the bands he scored.
  3. In the Listening Section of IELTS, a variety of intonations (British, New Zealander, Australian, Canadian, and American) are kept in test materials to reduce linguistic partiality.
