What is the IELTS exam?
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) measures English proficiency and is accepted worldwide by universities, immigration authorities and employers. It has two types — Academic and General Training — and university applications usually require the Academic module.
The test assesses four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Results are reported as band scores from 0 to 9 for each skill and as an overall average. The test can be taken on paper or computer; the Speaking section is a live interview with an examiner in both formats (in person at the test centre or by video link).

Listening
4 recordings · 40 questions · about 30 minutes
Reading
3 passages · 40 questions · 60 minutes
Writing
2 tasks (Task 1 and Task 2) · 60 minutes
Speaking
Interview with an examiner (in person or by video) · 3 parts · 11–14 minutes
Scoring and target scores
IELTS reports a band score from 0 to 9 for each skill, with the overall score as the average of the four. Most undergraduate and master's programs ask for an overall score of 6.0–7.0, and some departments set a minimum on individual skills. Band scores are generally accepted for two years. If you miss your target in a single skill, the One Skill Retake offered with the computer-based test lets you resit just that skill.
IELTS is held frequently throughout the year, so the test date is flexible. Preparation time depends on your current English level and target band; for most students a focused 6–12 weeks is enough. Writing and Speaking improve fastest with individual feedback.
