What is the IELTS exam?

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System and it’s one of the most important tests regarding international English use. It has two types: IELTS Academic test is suitable for people who want to study at an English-speaking university or for professional registration. The General IELTS training is used if you want to enter Canada, the USA, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand or Australia for general immigration. Both test listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills in English. You get a score for each skill (from 0 to 9 points) that corresponds to very precise competencies.

The IELTS Listening test is a 30-minute test. The four sections that the candidate has to work on are listening comprehension exercises (dialogues or monologues) that are played only once.

The IELTS Reading test is a 60-minute test. There are three sections from the easiest to the most difficult.

The IELTS Writing test is a 60-minute test. There are two writing tasks that need to be completed.

The IELTS Speaking test has three parts with an IELTS examiner: an interview, a monologue of one or two minutes on a certain topic, and a discussion around the topic that the candidate spoke about. This interview lasts a little less than 15 minutes.

Why is the IELTS Speaking test so important?

All parts of the IELTS Exam are equally important. Still, for the majority of students IELTS Speaking is the most frightening part of the exam.

People don’t feel comfortable speaking English in front of an examiner, they are usually afraid of making grammar mistakes, being hesitant or not understanding the question. Sometimes, they get low scores because they don’t know what IELTS Speaking is about – it’s not about your knowledge or the subject you are asked about, but it is about being able to express your ideas in a logical, coherent way. The only thing being assessed is your English speaking skills.
