ELTS - International English Language Testing System
What is IELTS?
IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language
ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of
communication.

IELTS is jointly managed by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge
ESOL), British Council and IDP: IELTS Australia. IELTS conforms to the highest international
standards of language assessment.

IELTS is recognised by universities and employers in many countries, including Australia,
Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. It is also recognised by professional bodies,
immigration authorities and other government agencies.

The Test Format
There are four sub-tests, or modules, to the IELTS test: Reading, Writing, Listening and
Speaking. Students must sit all four sub-tests. While all students take the same Listening and
Speaking tests, they sit different Reading and Writing tests, depending on whether they have
selected the Academic IELTS test or the General Training IELTS test.

On the day of the test, the four subsections will be taken in the following order:

Total Test Time
2 hours 45 minutes
The Speaking test may even take place a day or two later at some centres.

IELTS Listening test lasts for about 30 minutes. It consists of four sections, played on cassette
tape, in order of increasing difficulty. Each section might be a dialogue or a monologue. The test
is played once only, and the questions for each section must be answered while listening,
although time is given for students to check their answers.

IELTS Reading test lasts for 60 minutes. Students are given an Academic Reading test, or a
General Training Reading test. Both tests consist of three sections, and in both tests the sections
are in order of increasing difficulty.

IELTS Writing test also lasts for 60 minutes. Again, students take either an Academic test, or a
General Training test. Students must perform two writing tasks, which require different styles of
writing. There is no choice of question topics.

IELTS Speaking test consists of a one-to-one interview with a specially trained examiner. The
examiner will lead the candidate through the three parts of the test:
An introduction and interview, an individual long turn where the candidate speaks for one or two
minutes on a particular topic, and a two-way discussion thematically linked to the individual
long turn. This interview will last for approximately 11-14 minutes.

IELTS Preparation
An important preparation for the IELTS test is to find out about the structure of the test. What
are the sections of the test? Which one comes first? Second? How much time is allowed for each
section? How many questions are there? How long must I speak? There are simple questions to
answer, but important. Once you are familiar with the test format, you will be more relaxed. You
will be able to focus on answering questions well, rather than worrying about how many
questions there are, or how much time is left. You will find the answers to these questions in this
section.
