IELTS stands for the International English Language Testing System.
The IELTS exam is now taken by over 2.5 million people every year. It is recognised by universities, companies, professional bodies such as the GMC (the UKs General Medical Council) and NMC (The Nursing and Midwifery Council) for people wishing to work in the UK's National Health Service, immigration authorities, and government institutions all around the world as a measure of English Language ability.
There are two different types of IELTS exam:
For both modules, there are 4 parts: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The reading and writing sections are different for the 2 modules, whereas the listening and speaking sections are the same.
There is no pass or fail for the IELTS exam. Instead, you receive a band score between 1 and 9. This may include a half point, such as 6.5 for example.
Most universities typically require a score of between 6 and 7. Some may also demand a minimum score in each of the 4 papers.
