What is IELTS?

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) - an English language proficiency test - is required for admission to universities and colleges in English-speaking countries, mainly in the UK, Ireland and Australia (in the USA and Canada, TOEFL is used for this purpose) for applicants whose native language is not English and who have not been taught in English at school.

There are two types of IELTS: Academic and General. Academic IELTS is used for university and college admissions, while General IELTS is used for immigration and professional purposes (for employment) and for secondary school admissions in English-speaking countries. The difference between them is in the reading and writing sections, while listening and speaking are the same for both.

Some facts
The exam was introduced around 1989 jointly by the British Council, Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and IDP Education Pty Ltd of Australia and is recognised by over 6,000 educational institutions in over 135 countries. More than 1,400,000 people worldwide take the exam each year.

Exam format
The exam consists of 4 parts: listening (30 minutes), reading (60 minutes), writing (60 minutes), and speaking (11-14 minutes), for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes.

How is the result evaluated?
The result is evaluated on a 9-point scale, each part is evaluated separately and then a total score is calculated. There is no such thing as passed or failed. Each educational institution sets its own minimum score required for admission. The results are announced 13 days after the exam and are valid for 2 years. There are no restrictions on the number and frequency of exams.
