Two Versions of IELTS
Check with the organisations you wish to apply to before you
book your test!
There are two versions of IELTS to choose from:- IELTS Academic
- IELTS General Training
Academic Module
Those
candidates who seek to study in foreign educational institutes must take the
Academic Test. This test comprises four modules: Reading Module, Writing
Module, Listening Module and Speaking Module.
Each
Module carries a band score of 0-9. Different educational institutes in the same
country require different band scores to give admissions to students. We
suggest you to secure at least 7.5 bands so that you may get admission in a
reputed university.
General Module
However,
the General Test is for those who desire to go abroad for employment purposes.
The IELTS Test is compulsory for citizens belonging to non-English speaking
countries either to study or to work in the United Kingdom or in Australia. Of
Course, it is accepted by many universities in the United States of America also.
Like the
Academic Module, the General Module consists of: Reading Module, Writing
Module, Listening Module and Speaking Module. Each Module carries a band score
of 0-9. It is desirable to secure 6.5 to 7.5 bands if you are planning to
migrate to an English speaking country for employment purpose.Make sure you know which one you need before you book your test.
