"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

IELTS Preparation

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System. It is specifically designed to assess the English language ability of candidates who want to study, work or live where English is the medium of communication. It measures the test takers’ ability to communicate in English across all four basic language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.

There are two versions of IELTS:

The Academic Module
The General Training Module

The module that you take depends on the reason that you are taking it for. Generally speaking, the Academic Module is for those people who are trying to gain entry onto undergraduate or postgraduate education courses or for professional reasons. The General Training Module is for those people who wish to join some kinds of vocational or training courses, secondary schools. Both Academic and General Training modules try and reflect real life situations to test whether a candidate would survive in English speaking social and academic environments. Moreover, the Academic module is harder than the General Training Module as it is the most advanced test.

IELTS is administered by 4 organizations:

University of Cambridge ESOL Exams
The British Council
IDP Education Australia
IELTS Australia
