Introduction to IELTS

IELTS is International English Language Testing system.

This test is to check not only the English language competency of the candidates but it is an IQ and memory test also. The countries demanding IELTS 6+ band people are in fact in search of intelligent people understanding English.

In this blog you will find the very easy tips to secure a good band in IELTS. With having a complete knowledge about the test it becomes easier to be successful.

There are two types of IELTS.

• Academic
• General

The candidates want to go abroad on study visa are required to do the Academic IELTS. While people going for job or business have to do the General IELTS.

IELTS consists of four modules.

• Reading
• Writing
• Listening
• Speaking

The Reading and Writing tests are different for Academic and General IELTS while Listening and Speaking tests are same for both Academic and General IELTS.

You can register IELTS either by British council or through AEO. There is not any difference in marking at all just the facilities they will provide you during the test. British council would give you head phones for listening test and AEO usually gives you a better and more comfortable seat for the test. There is no other difference I have seen.

Wish you all the best for your test.
