About the test

What is IELTS?

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is an English-language proficiency test accepted by many universities, employers and organisations. It assesses how effectively you can use English in listening, reading, writing and speaking.

Important: Test type, score requirements and accepted versions depend on the institution or authority you are applying to. Always confirm the exact requirement with them before booking a test.

Choose based on your goal.
IELTS Academic is generally intended for people applying to higher education or professional registration where academic English is needed.
Check your destination requirements.
IELTS General Training focuses on practical, everyday English and may be used for some migration, work or other non-academic purposes.
Prepare for all four skills.
Your result reports individual skill scores and an overall band score. Requirements vary, so check your course or application criteria.

Should I take IELTS Academic or General Training?

It depends on your purpose. Academic is commonly used for higher education and some professional registration; General Training may be used for certain migration or non-academic purposes. Confirm the exact test with the university, employer or authority receiving your result.

What IELTS score will I need?

There is no single score requirement for every course or application. Requirements can include an overall band and minimum scores for individual skills. Check the current official requirements for your chosen course or pathway.

Start by confirming your test type and target score. Then assess your current level, learn the test format, practise each skill regularly and review your errors. Use reliable, current practice resources.
