IELTS Is NOT What You Think It Is.

If you are reading this, You have probably been told that you need to pass the IELTS exam to get that promotion, overseas transfer, or to study abroad.

LET'S GET RID OF A COUPLE OF MYTHS:

It is a test, not an exam. The IELTS test is designed to assess your ability to understand and use English in a natural way.
You cannot pass or fail an IELTS test. There is no pass mark. Your English is assessed to give you a a band score which denotes your proficiency in English. Band scores are from 0 to 9.
Despite what many scam websites tell you, there are no themes or set questions that you can learn the answers to. You can be asked about anything (except politics and religion).
You cannot buy an IELTS certificate. Again, there are many websites that claim they have an agreement with a number of IELTS examiners, who will issue you with an IELTS certificate on payment of a large sum of money. This is not true. Being found in possession of a counterfeit IELTS certificate will bar you from any university you have applied to, and may also affect your visa application.

So, What Is IELTS?

IELTS stands for the International English Language Testing System. It is an English Language proficiency test, not an exam. Over four million people from around the world take the IELTS test every year, making it more popular than any other English proficiency test in the world.

The IELTS test is for people who wish to emigrate to an English speaking country, study in such a country, or to have a career which requires English to be spoken to a particular standard.

To cater for these different needs, there are two types of IELTS tests available:

The IELTS Academic test will help your student visa application, as well as acceptance for study at many universities around the world.

It will also prove your English language ability to many international professional organisations.

This version of the IELTS test is designed to test your level of English in a work environment, and is used by many people to demonstrate their level of English when applying for vacancies in companies that require you to speak English at work.
