Essential facts about the general IELTS exam

One of the most widely recognized English proficiency exams globally.

The IELTS, which is a standardized English test designed for those seeking to live, work or study in an English-speaking country, is created by Cambridge Assessment English, a department of the University of Cambridge. Over the years, it has gained significant global recognition and is sought after by various types of candidates. According to the website of the French British Council, the number of yearly test takers exceeds 3 million, making IELTS one of the most widely used language tests worldwide.

What is the procedure for conducting the IELTS exam?

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) consists of two separate tests, one called IELTS Academic for higher education purposes, and the other called IELTS General Training for professional purposes. Both tests evaluate a person's overall proficiency in the English language. The IELTS exam lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes and has four parts: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Each part assesses different language skills and has specific rules.

  1. Listening Section: The Listening section of the IELTS exam has 40 questions and requires candidates to listen to various audio extracts and answer multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank texts, or complete diagrams. The section is divided into four exercises.
  2. Reading Section: The Reading section of the IELTS exam has 40 questions and requires candidates to answer questions about three different texts presented in increasing order of difficulty. The section lasts one hour.
  3. Writing Section: The Writing section of the IELTS exam requires candidates to compose two essays. The first essay is a 150-word commentary on a graph, table, or diagram for IELTS Academic or a letter to a friend for IELTS General Training. The second essay is a 250-word response to a given subject. The section lasts one hour.
  4. Speaking Section: The Speaking section of the IELTS exam involves a face-to-face interview with an examiner and lasts less than 15 minutes. The section consists of three exercises, including general questions about personal situations, speaking on a specific subject for 2 minutes, and a freer discussion on the same subject.

The IELTS test is scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 9.

The IELTS score ranges from 0 to 9, and is calculated by averaging the scores obtained in each section of the test. A score of 1 indicates a beginner level, while a score of 9 indicates expert or bilingual proficiency. To obtain a good score in IELTS, a candidate should aim for a score between 6 and 9, which attests to a very good level of English and makes it easier to obtain admission to an English-speaking university, business school or company. The score required by an individual depends entirely on their goal. If a student is taking an English certification, it is better to score above 6 in IELTS, which corresponds to the minimum score required by schools and higher education establishments abroad.

The score you must get in IELTS exam depends on your goal.

If a person is looking for a job, they should find out about the specific expectations regarding the level of English proficiency in their sector of activity. Companies generally ask for variable scores depending on the position and the sector of activity. IELTS can also be useful for individuals engaged in an immigration or expatriation process.

A registration for the IELTS exam through the British Council.

To register for the IELTS assessment, candidates need to apply to the British Council. The registration can be done online or directly with one of the British Council’s transit centres. Effective preparation is essential to be ready for the test day. Candidates need to learn and understand the instructions and the sequence of the exercises of the test. A preparation phase including standard exercises, several mock tests as well as English grammar and vocabulary lessons will allow candidates to get used to the structure of the exam and the precise rules according to which it takes place.

How to adequately prepare oneself for the day of the test

Being naturally good at English is not enough to pass the IELTS with flying colors. Many candidates who have a good level of language but do not prepare enough for the test are often surprised and do not obtain a mark that represents their true potential. To prepare for IELTS, some people choose to focus on intensive courses or language courses, while others combine face-to-face training with online preparation.
