Each part of this course is divided into chapters which you caneasily navigate to from the description. We also provide some
data along with this course to help you understand IELTS in a
nutshell.
We are proud to say that most of our students have received
their desired bands by watching this course alone.
Now let's get started with the main course,and everything you
need for IELTS is here.
What is IELTS?
IELTS stands for International English Language Testing
System. It is a proficiency test that checks your English
language skills. Non-native speakers, meaning people who are
living in a country where English is not spoken as the primary
language or the first language, are required to take this test.
For example, if you want to go to Australia to study or work,
you have to write IELTS to show your proficiency.
The test was created by Cambridge University, and 80% of the
English used in IELTS has a British accent. Therefore, it is
recommended to watch British accent movies to get
acquainted with the accent.
Types and Categories of IELTS
IDP and British Council: Cambridge University created
the test, and they gave the responsibility to IDP and
British Council to conduct the test in various countries.
Both are the same, and there is no difference between
them.
General Training and Academic: If you are planning to
work abroad, go for General Training. For any kind of
course, go for Academic. If you take the wrong test, you
will waste a lot of money, and the score will be invalid.
Paper and Online: It is recommended to go for Paper
and Pencil as it is easier to read and write on paper
than a screen.
Scoring in IELTS
In IELTS, there are no marks or points. You are scored from one
to nine, where nine is the highest and one is the lowest. The
, score is called a band. There is no score of zero, which means
you did not appear for the exam. You will get a score between
one and nine, depending on your situation or requirement. If
you score nine or eight, that is excellent. However, there are
four modules in IELTS: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
If you scored less in any of these modules, less compared to
the requirement, you would not qualify.
Understanding the IELTS Scoring System
When taking the IELTS exam, it is important to understand the
scoring system. The requirements for different companies or
institutions may vary, but it is generally required to achieve a
score of at least eight bands in listening, seven in reading,
seven in writing, and seven in speaking. The scores for each
module and overall score are important.
It is also important to understand the difference between
bands and zephyr. Zephyr stands for the Common European
Framework as a reference for languages, which tests the levels
of language. Bands are created from one to nine and
correspond to the levels of zephyr. For example, a score of 8.5
to 9 is considered C2 while above that is C1. Listening and
reading have 40 questions each, with one point given for each
correct answer. The score for writing and speaking is based on
four criteria, with vocabulary and fluency being examples.
Choosing the Right Study Material
It is recommended to avoid online materials as they are not
connected to Cambridge and may not provide accurate
information. The best book to study from is the Official
Cambridge Guide to IELTS, along with the Cambridge Practice
Test for IELTS series ranging from 1 to 14. It is sufficient to
purchase two to three books for practice along with this
course.
Frequency of the Test and Reattempting
The academic IELTS exam is conducted 48 times a year while
the general training is conducted 24 times a year. It is not
recommended to immediately reattempt the exam if the
desired score is not achieved. It is important to evaluate
oneself, identify areas of improvement, and prepare before
reattempting the exam.
