IELTS is an English language test that can open your doors to study abroad to the destination of your choice. It is also the preferred English language test by millions of aspiring immigrants across the world.
The choice of available examinations is vast and this can even puzzle the students. They can also be confused as to which English language test will be of maximum benefit in terms of realizing their study overseas dreams.
Over 9,000 organizations across the world recognize the IELTS as a test for English language proficiency. Millions of aspiring overseas students appear for the test every year. Candidates have the option of two modules – the General Training and the Academic module.
Candidates are tested in 4 skills:
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
Results are declared as per the band score scale of the IELTS. Band score 9 implies an expert user and is the highest, as quoted by the Cyprus Mail.
The Academic module of the IELTS is designed for students who intend to pursue studies in higher education institutions that teach in English. This could be for Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels or those who seek professional registration.
The General Training module of the IELTS is designed for the EU nationals who intend to study or train at a level lower than a Degree. It is also for those who intend to immigrate to English speaking nations like the UK, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.
However, it is always best to confirm with the respective immigration authorities prior to taking an examination.
The IELTS test scores have a validity of 2 years. Thus it is crucial that candidates take up the test close to the date when they will be offering the results to the respective authorities.
