What is IELTS?
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s leading test for assessing English proficiency — trusted by universities, employers, and governments worldwide. Every year, millions of people take IELTS to pursue higher studies, work opportunities, or migration goals in English-speaking countries.
Recognised by over 12,500 institutions in more than 150 countries, IELTS is available through test centres in 140 countries. The test is designed and reviewed by international experts to ensure fairness, accuracy, and accessibility — giving every test-taker an equal chance to perform their best, regardless of nationality, gender, or background.
Depending on your purpose, you can choose between IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training.
IELTS Test Format
IELTS measures all four essential English skills — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
- The Listening, Reading, and Writing sections are completed in one sitting, back-to-back.
- The Speaking test may take place on the same day or within seven days before or after your written tests, depending on your test centre.
- The total test time is under three hours.
A Fair Testing Experience
IELTS is designed to let you perform at your best:
The Speaking test is one-on-one with a trained examiner — giving you a calm, distraction-free environment to express yourself naturally.
You can manage your own pace within the Reading and Writing sections — revisit, skip, or adjust answers during your allotted time.
