IELTS
If your goal is to pursue education overseas in a country where English is the native language, you will have to prove your English proficiency skills.
IELTS is a standard examination which tests a student’s command of the English language. IELTS tests your listening, reading, writing and speaking skills.
The IELTS Academic & General Training modules serve unique purposes and you need to pay attention to the test that your requirement calls for to prevent your scores being invalid.
The test pattern as well as the assessment criteria, has been developed by Cambridge English, UK, but the exam is governed by two bodies – British Council, UK and IDP, Australia. Scoring is in bands from 1 to 9 and there is no pass or fail system.
Why IELTS?
It was virtually impossible to measure a person’s English skills if each country has a separate system for it. Therefore, one single organisation started supervising the entire testing system and made it uniform globally.
- An upwards of 10,000 institutions situated in 140 countries across the English speaking nations will recognise your IELTS scores.
- Recruiters use your IELTS band to determine your level of English accuracy.
- You might have to take up the test if your job involves teaching English to other people.
- IELTS requires you to master both American and British accents, thereby preparing you for the global market.
- By managing to achieve a good band score, you become eligible for scholarships as well.
Types of IELTS
The type of IELTS test that you should take varies with your purpose of visit and career goals. In general, there are two categories namely IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. But apart from these, there’s UKVI IELTS which is specifically for the people who are travelling to the UK seeking a job or to study.
1. IELTS Academic
IELTS Academic is for but not limited to the ones who are trying to obtain a UG or a PG degree. This also applies to work professionals who are planning on having a job abroad. You’ll also need an IELTS score if you are a doctor or any sort of medical practitioner and looking forward to practicing there.
2. IELTS General
If your purpose of the visit is non-academic, you can take up the IELTS general. You are required to have your score before applying to fulfil your immigration criteria. The general category does not vary too much from the academic version.
3. UKVI IELTS
If your intention is to acquire a Tier 1 or Tier 2 UK VISA, UKVI IELTS is what you should go for. UKVI IELTS has its own academic and general category. This test is tailor-made to suit certain requirements put forth by the UK administration.
It is categorized into three types; they are:
-
3.1. The UKVI IELTS Academic
The Academic category is for the ones who are about to pursue an education inside the UK soil. -
3.2. The UKVI IELTS General
The General test is to help you fulfil certain migration criteria and make you eligible for certain low-level degrees. -
3.3. The UKVI Life Skills
The UKVI life skills would test your speaking and listening skills for various purposes and grade you on levels such as A1, A2 or B1.
