The International English Language Testing System or IELTS is
an exam you give if you want to study or work at a place where
English is the language of communication. This test is accepted
by over 9000 organisations worldwide including universities,
employers and immigration authorities. There is no pass or fail
in the test. You get a score from 1 to 9 meaning that you are
an expert user of the English language. The listening round
lasts for 40 minutes and has 4 sections. In these sections, you
will hear an everyday conversation like 2 colleagues talking in
an office, one person speaking, an educational situation where
may be a student talking to a professor and a talk or a lecture
on a general topic. What you hear and what the answer is
might not be same word-to-word. So, be alert. Always look out
for distractors. Remember that not all question types will be
same. The writing test lasts for 60 minutes and has 2 tasks. For
academic module, you will be given a graph, diagram, chart or
table and you'll have to describe it in your own words. For
General Training module you will have to write a letter in
response to a everyday situation or a problem. Task 2 is worth
twice as many marks as Task 1.
The speaking test lasts for 11-14 minutes and is conducted in
the form of a one-on-one interview with an examiner. It has 3
parts. Part 1 is general introduction where you 'll talk about
yourself, your work , your family and other familiar topics. In
Part 2, you will be given a topic card and one minute to
prepare on that topic. At the end of that one minute, you are
supposed to talk continuously for 1-2 minutes on the topic
without being interrupted by the examiner. And the last section
is speaking. As of today, this is the format of the test. But it 's
always better to check the official website of wherever you are
booking whether British Council or IDP to know the current
format while preparing. # 1: Read as widely as possible , be it
newspapers, books or blogs. Practise writing essays and after
you have written them assess them like an examiner. Check
your vocabulary, your paragraph formation so that you can
understand your strengths and work on your weaknesses. To
improve your listening skills chose a lecture , a talk or watch
