IELTS is accepted by Universities in UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. It has become a mandatory test for study in Australia. One cannot be granted an Australian Student Visa without an IELTS Score. All other study destinations require one to appear for either the TOEFL or the IELTS.

The test is divided into four sections. It has 40 questions in total.

Students get time to look at the questions before the listening starts and check their work at the end of each section.

  
Discourse Types

Section 1: Usually a conversation between two people in general, everyday topic. First, you are given some time to look at the questions for section 1. Then you will hear an example where you will listen to the correct answer. Then the listening is played (including the example). You will get around 30 seconds to look at the questions for every sub-section.

Section 2: Usually a monologue (only one speaker) of a social functional nature, informational talk. It can be a social or academic setting. you get a few seconds to look at the questions. There will be no example in this section.

Section 3: Usually a conversation between two to four people like Academic setting, Education/training based context. There is no example on the tape in this section as well.

Section 4: Usually a lecture or speech given as a monologue like Academic setting, Education / Training based context. No breaks in between. There might be a written example. You may get note or summary completion or multiple choice or a variety of questions. Here, the question types are divided into two parts. For example, question no 31 to 35 are multiple-choice and question no 36 to 40 are summary or table completion. Now, when the speaker moves from question 35 to 36 i.e. when the question type changes, there will be a pause of 2-3 seconds. This pause is a hint for you that now the question type is changed.

How is IELTS scored?

IELTS results are reported on a nine-band scale. In addition to the score for overall language ability, IELTS provides a score, in the form of a profile, for each of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking). These scores are also reported on a nine-band scale. All scores are recorded on the Test Report Form along with details of the candidate's nationality, first language, and date of birth. Each Overall Band Score corresponds to a descriptive statement which gives a summary of the English language ability of a candidate classified at that level. The nine bands and their descriptive statements are as follows:

Most universities and colleges in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada accept an IELTS Overall Band Score of 6.0 or 6.5 for entry to academic programs. IELTS scores are increasingly being recognized by universities in the USA.
