IELTS (International English Language Testing System)
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a standardized exam that measures the proficiency of non-native English speakers. The exam evaluates candidates in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
IELTS is globally recognized by more than 10,000 institutions, including universities, employers, and immigration authorities, as a measure of English proficiency for study, work, and immigration purposes.
The test has two versions: Academic and General Training. The Academic version is intended for individuals who want to study at the undergraduate or postgraduate level in an English-speaking country, while the General Training version is designed for those who plan to migrate to an English-speaking country for work or training purposes.
Scores on the exam range from 1 to 9 on a band scale, with 9 representing the highest level of proficiency. The score requirements may vary depending on the organization or institution that requires it.
