International English Language Testing System tests the ability to listen, read, speak, and write the English language. IELTS is recognized by more than 3,000 academic institutions in Australia, Britain, Canada, Europe, Ireland, and New Zealand. This is the only Secure English Language Test approved by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) for visa customers applying both outsides and inside the UK. To pass the test, no minimum score is required. IELTS is a test to check a person’s English Speaking, Writing, and Listening abilities.
There are two modules of the IELTS:
Academic Module: This is for those who seek admission in universities and for professionals who want to study or practice in an English-speaking country. General Training Module: This is intended for those planning to undertake non-academic training or to gain work experience, or for immigration purposes. English Speaking Course in Chandigarh provides training of IELTS and PTE. IELTS test consists of the following parts:
1. Listening: The module consists of four parts, with each section having ten questions. Section 1 has a conversation about social activities, for example, a conversation about travel arrangements, between two speakers. Section 2 has one person speaking about local facilities. Section 3 is a discussion between two main speakers, for example, a discussion between two university students, maybe a guide. Section 4 has one individual who talks about an academic subject. Every section starts with a brief introduction telling the test taker about the situation and the speakers. Section 4 has one person talking about an academic topic. They then have some time to discuss the issues. The questions are in the same order as the documenting material, so the answer to the first question is before the answer to the second question, and so forth. There is a break in the middle of the first three parts allowing test takers to look at the remaining questions. Each section is only heard once. The students are given 10 minutes at the end of the test to pass their answers to a reply sheet. Test takers for wrong spelling and grammar would lose the points.
2. Reading: The Reading paper has three parts and a total of 2,150-2,750 words of text. There will be a number of questions such as multiple-choice, short-answer questions, material identification, labeling diagrams, description completion using words taken from the text, and text/sentence ends matching material/headings/features. When writing down their responses, test takers should be vigilant, as they can lose marks for incorrect spelling and grammar. Both of the subjects are of general interest to undergraduate or postgraduate level students.
3. Writing: The Writing Paper has two tasks and both must be done. Test takers write at least 150 words in Task 1 in about 20 minutes. Task 2 test takers write, in about 40 minutes, at least 250 sentences. If their response is too short or does not relate to the subject, test takers will be penalized. Answers in complete sentences should be posted. Notes or bullet points must not be used by test takers.
4. Speaking: A face-to-face interview between the test taker and an interviewer is the speaking test. The speech test is composed of three parts.
Section 1: Interview and Presentation (4–5 minutes). Test takers may be asked about their house, family, jobs, studies, hobbies, and interests, reasons for taking the IELTS exam, and other general subjects.
Section 2: Extended turn (3–4 minutes). A task card is given to test takers about a given subject. Test takers have one minute to prepare themselves to discuss this subject. The task card describes the points to be included in the talk and one part of the subject that must be clarified during the talk. Test-takers are then required to discuss the subject for 2 minutes, after which the examiner can some questions.
Section 3: (4-5 minutes) Conversations. The third section includes a discussion between the examiner and the test taker, generally on the theme-related questions that they have already discussed in section 2.
Scoring: For each test part, test takers receive a score (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). To obtain an Overall Band Ranking, the individual scores are then summed and rounded.
Band scale: On a nine-band scale, the IELTS score is given, with each band corresponding to a specified English competence.
