What can I expect with the test?
IELTS is a paper-and-pencil test with 4 sections: Listening, Reading, Writing
and Speaking, and includes a live, face-to-face speaking interview with a
trained and certified examiner. This allows for a more realistic measure of a
speaker’s English proficiency and real-world communication abilities.
As a test of English as an “international” language, IELTS uses all standard
varieties of English — American, Australian, and British, and includes different
question task types (for example, matching plan/map/diagram labelling, multiple
choice, short-answer, etc.). This is to ensure the test is relevant and fair to
test takers regardless of cultural background or where they studied English.
Which IELTS test should I take?
There are two IELTS tests to choose from — Academic and General Training. IELTS
Academic is used for higher education and professional certification. IELTS
General Training is used for work or migration purposes. The Listening and
Speaking sections of IELTS are the same for both Academic and General Training,
however, test takers take different Reading and Writing sections, depending on
the test they choose.
The Academic Reading includes authentic texts from books, journals, newspapers,
etc., whereas the General Training Reading includes authentic texts from company
handbooks, official documents, books, newspapers, etc. The differences between
the Academic Writing and General Training Writing are in the content, nature,
and contextual parameters of the tasks.
IELTS Test Structure
There are two modules of the IELTS:
Academic Module and
General Training Module
There is also a separate test offered by the IELTS test partners, called IELTS
Life Skills:
IELTS Academic is intended for those who want to enroll in universities and
other institutions of higher education and for professionals such as medical
doctors and nurses who want to study or practise in an English-speaking country.
IELTS General Training is intended for those planning to undertake non-academic
training or to gain work experience, or for immigration purposes.
IELTS Life Skills is intended for those who need to prove their English speaking
and listening skills at Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
levels A1 or B1 and can be used to apply for a ‘family of a settled person’
visa, indefinite leave to remain or citizenship in the UK
Listening, Reading and Writing are completed in one sitting. The Speaking test
may be taken on the same day or up to seven days before or after the other
tests.
All test takers take the same Listening and Speaking tests, while the Reading
and Writing tests differ depending on whether the test taker is taking the
Academic or General Training versions of the test.
Listening:
The module comprises four sections, with ten questions in each section. It
takes 40 minutes: 30 - for testing, plus 10 for transferring the answers to an
answer sheet.
Sections 1 and 2 are about everyday, social situations.
Section 1 has a conversation between two speakers (for example, a conversation
about travel arrangements)
Section 2 has one person speaking (for example, a speech about local
facilities).
Sections 3 and 4 are about educational and training situations
Section 3 is a conversation between two main speakers (for example, a discussion
between two university students, perhaps guided by a tutor)
Section 4 has one person speaking about an academic subject.
Each section begins with a short introduction telling the test taker about the
situation and the speakers. Then they have some time to look through the
questions. The questions are in the same order as the information in the
recording, so the answer to the first question will be before the answer to the
second question, and so on. The first three sections have a break in the
middle allowing test takers to look at the remaining questions. Each section is
heard only once.
At the end of the test students are given 10 minutes to transfer their answers
to an answer sheet. Test takers will lose marks for incorrect spelling and
grammar.
Reading:
The Reading paper has three sections and texts totaling 2,150-2,750 words. There
will be a variety of question types, such as multiple choice, short-answer
questions, identifying information, identifying writer’s views, labeling
diagrams, completing a summary using words taken from the text and matching
information/headings/features in the text/sentence endings. Test takers should
be careful when writing down their answers as they will lose marks for incorrect
spelling and grammar.
Texts in IELTS Academic
Three reading texts, which come from books, journals, magazines, newspapers
and online resources written for non-specialist audiences. All the topics are
of general interest to students at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
Texts in IELTS General Training
Section 1 contains two or three short texts or several shorter texts, which deal
with everyday topics. For example, timetables or notices – things a person would
need to understand when living in an English-speaking country.
Section 2 contains two texts, which deal with work. For example, job
descriptions, contracts, training materials.
Section 3 contains one long text about a topic of general interest. The text
is generally descriptive, longer and more complex than the texts in Sections 1
and 2. The text will be taken from a newspaper, magazine, book or online
resource.
Writing:
The Writing paper has two tasks which must both be completed. In task 1 test
takers write at least 150 words in about 20 minutes. In task 2 test takers write
at least 250 words in about 40 minutes. Test takers will be penalised if their
answer is too short or does not relate to the topic. Answers should be written
in full sentences (test takers must not use notes or bullet points).
IELTS Academic:
Task 1: test takers describe a graph, table, chart or diagram in their own
words.
Task 2: test takers discuss a point of view, argument or problem. Depending on
the task, test takers may be required to present a solution to a problem,
present and justify an opinion, compare and contrast evidence, opinions and
implications, and evaluate and challenge ideas, evidence or an argument.
IELTS General Training:
Task 1: test takers write a letter in response to a given everyday situation.
For example, writing to an accommodation officer about problems with your
accommodation, writing to a new employer about problems managing your time,
writing to a local newspaper about a plan to develop a local airport.
Task 2: test takers write an essay about a topic of general interests. For
example, whether smoking should be banned in public places, whether children’s
leisure activities should be educational, how environmental problems can be
solved.
Speaking:
The speaking test is a face-to-face interview between the test taker and an
examiner.
The speaking test contains three sections.
Section 1: introduction and interview (4–5 minutes). Test takers may be asked
about their home, family, work, studies, hobbies, interests, reasons for taking
IELTS exam as well as other general topics such as clothing, free time,
computers and the internet.
Section 2: long turn (3–4 minutes). Test takers are given a task card about a
particular topic. Test takers have one minute to prepare to talk about this
topic. The task card states the points that should be included in the talk and
one aspect of the topic which must be explained during the talk. Test takers are
then expected to talk about the topic for 2 minutes, after which the examiner
may ask one or two questions.
Section 3: discussions (4–5 minutes). The third section involves a discussion
between the examiner and the test taker, generally on questions relating to
the theme which they have already spoken about in Section 2.
IELTS characteristics
IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training are designed to cover the full range
of ability from non-user to expert user. The Academic version is for test takers
who want to study at tertiary level in an English-speaking country or seek
professional registration. The General Training version is for test takers who
want to work, train, study at a secondary school or migrate to an
English-speaking country.[12]

("Expert User").

It assesses whether you are ready to begin studying or training in an
environment where English is the language used.
You may take IELTS Academic if you want to:
Study or train at a university or college as an undergraduate.
Study or train at a university or college as a postgraduate.
Join a professional association
Gain registration in a professional organization (e.g. medical, nursing,
accounting, engineering).
When to take IELTS General Training
IELTS General Training measures English language proficiency in a practical,
everyday context.
You may take IELTS General Training if you want to:
Study or train in secondary education.
Study or train at a college or training centre below degree level.
Migrate to an English speaking country.
IELTS is a test
of all four language skills – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. You
will take the Listening, Reading and Writing tests all on the same day, one
after the other, with no breaks in between. Depending on your test centre,
your Speaking test may be on the same day as the other three tests, or up
to seven days before or after that. The total test time is under three hours.
Why is the IELTS format fairer?
You deserve a fair chance to do your best. That’s why, unlike other tests,
IELTS gives you a quiet room for the Speaking test with no distractions
or interruptions. IELTS also recognizes that candidates have different
approaches to answering questions. For example, with IELTS you can answer
questions in the order that suits you and you can make changes to your Reading
answers and Writing responses at any time during the Reading and Writing
sections.
What can you expect in each section of IELTS?
Both versions of IELTS (Academic and General Training) cover all four language
skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Each section of the test
is outlined below.
For a full description
please ensure you also read the Information for Candidates booklet.
Four test sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
Listening
(Duration: 30
minutes)
You will listen to four recorded texts – monologues and conversations by
a range of native speakers – and write the answers to a series of questions.
These include questions that test your ability to understand main ideas
and detailed factual information, ability to understand the opinions and
attitudes of speakers, ability to understand the purpose of what is said
and ability to follow the development of ideas. A variety of voices and
native-speaker accents is used and you will hear each section only once.
Please
note: The Listening component is the same for both Academic and General
Training versions.
Section
1
A conversation between two people set in an everyday social context, e.g.
a conversation in an accommodation agency.
Section 2
A monologue set in an everyday social context, e.g. a speech about local
facilities.
Section
3
A conversation between up to four people set in an educational or training
context, e.g. a university tutor and a student discussing an assignment.
Section
4
A monologue on an academic subject, e.g. a university lecture.
Reading
(Duration:
60 minutes)
The Reading component comprises 40 questions. A variety of question types
is used in order to test a wide range of reading skills. These include reading
for gist, reading for main ideas, reading for detail, skimming, understanding
logical argument and recognizing writers’ opinions, attitudes and purpose.
Reading – Academic
version
The Academic version
includes three long texts, which range from the descriptive and factual
to the discursive and analytical. The texts are authentic and are taken
from books, journals, magazines and newspapers. These have been selected
for a non-specialist audience but are recognizably appropriate for anyone
entering undergraduate or postgraduate courses or seeking professional registration.
Reading – General
Training version
The General Training
version requires you to read extracts from books, magazines, newspapers,
notices, advertisements, company handbooks and guidelines. These are materials
you are likely to encounter on a daily basis in an English-speaking environment.
Writing
(
Duration: 60 minutes)
Writing – Academic
version
The Writing component
of the Academic version includes two tasks. Topics are of general interest
to, and suitable for, anyone entering undergraduate or postgraduate studies
or seeking professional registration.
Task
1
You will be presented with a graph, table, chart or diagram and are asked
to describe, summarise or explain the information in your own words. You
may be asked to describe and explain data, describe the stages of a process,
how something works or describe an object or event.
Task
2
You will be asked to write an essay in response to a point of view, argument
or problem. Responses to both tasks must be written in a formal style.
Writing – General
Training version
The Writing component
of the General Training version includes two tasks, which are based on topics
of general interest.
Task
1
You will be presented with a situation and asked to write a letter requesting
information or explaining the situation. The letter may be personal, semi-formal
or formal in style.
Task
2
You will be asked to write an essay in response to a point of view, argument
or problem. The essay can be slightly more personal in style than the Academic
Writing Task 2 essay.
Speaking
(Duration:
11 to 14 minutes)
The Speaking component assesses your use of spoken
English and takes between 11 and 14 minutes to complete. Every test is recorded.
Please
note: The Speaking component is the same for both Academic and General Training
versions.
Part
1
You will be asked to answer general questions about
yourself and a range of familiar topics, such as your home, family, work,
studies and interests. This part lasts between four and five minutes.
Part
2
You will be given a card that asks you to talk about
a particular topic. You will have one minute to prepare before speaking
for up to two minutes. The examiner then asks you one or two questions on
the same topic to finish this part of the test.
Part
3
You will be asked further questions connected to the topic in Part 2. These
questions give you an opportunity to discuss more abstract issues and ideas.
This part lasts between four and five minutes.
The Speaking component
is delivered in such a way that does not allow you to rehearse set responses
beforehand.
