IELTS
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of the world’s most popular English tests for education and work. There are two different IELTS modules: Academic and General Training. IELTS is accepted by institutions in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and other Commonwealth countries, as well as is accepted by more and more academic institutions and organisations in the US. IELTS results are valid for two years.
In IELTS, there are four papers: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview between an examiner and a test taker.
