IELTS COACHING
With over 3 million tests written every year, IELTS is the gold standard when it comes to English Proficiency exams. Though other tests are also gaining popularity, IELTS remains the most widely accepted and attempted English skills test for non-native users, the bulk of whom are international students and immigration applicants. Most of the test-takers in India are fresh graduates as the IELTS score is an important element of their admissions process. Canadian immigration also requires proof of English proficiency and for many applicants, IELTS is the key that unlocks their foreign residency dreams. IELTS is collectively managed by Cambridge Assessment English, British Council, and IDP Australia. In India, the test is administered by IDP Australia exclusively.

WHAT DOES IT MEASURE?
Comparable to other language tests, IELTS assesses the basic communication skills
listening
The comprehension skills of non-native listeners are assessed through native speech.
reading
Reading comprehension skills, with passages derived from Academic writing for Academic IELTS and real-life text for General Training help demonstrate how well the test-taker can process written Standard English.
writing
In Writing, specific writing tasks (Summary Report/Letter & Essay) are assigned which a student or professional would very likely be required to to in his educational/professional life.
SPEAKING
The Speaking section very aptly showcases how well the test-taker would be able to communicate in an English setting.
WHAT IS IELTS LIKE?
The test has 4 sections to test each of the 4; however, it is held in two sittings, with the speaking part done in a face-to-face format, a feature quite unique to IELTS. Also uncommon is the option to select the modality of the LRW test. The test-taker can choose to write on paper or computer, with the former finding much favour among Indian students. The LRW section clocks 2 hours and 40 minutes, while the Speaking interview is about 11-14 minutes.

IELTS Versions
Depending on the end goal, the version of IELTS you need varies. There are broadly 2 versions:
IELTS Academic
For non-native students who want to pursue tertiary education in native English-speaking countries.
General Training IELTS
For immigration or PR applicants or those seeking work in native English speaking countries
The Listening and Speaking sections of both versions are exactly the same. For Reading and Writing, differences in content, purpose, and context qualify each for admissions or immigration.
How is the IELTS scored?
The IELTS Band Score is representative of the competency level of all English users. Ranging from 0 to 9 (with 0.5 point increments), the IELTS Score Report fully reflects the test-takers’ expertise in English Usage. It includes band scores for each Individual Section as well as an Overall Score, which is an average of the four. Most universities require a minimum of 6.5 Band Score for admission. For migration, at least a 7 band score is recommended.
There is no negative marking in IELTS and the criteria for each of the four sections varies. The report is available in 13 days for Paper-based version and 3-5 days for Computer-delivered version.
