Academic vs. General
There are two versions of IELTS: Academic and General.
- Certificate of Academic IELTS is used for admission to schools, colleges and universities in English-speaking countries.
- The certificate General Training IELTS (and sometimes Academic IELTS) is mandatory for all who wish to immigrate to or work in UK, Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand, etc.
It is advised not to consider a report older than two years to be valid, unless the user proves that he/she has worked to maintain his/her level of English.
Usually IELTS Academic is conducted once in two weeks and IELTS General once in four weeks.
IELTS consists of 4 parts:
The total time of IELTS is 2 hours 45 minutes. The listening, reading and writing parts are completed in one sitting in a common exam auditorium, while the speaking part is taken individually with an examiner on the same day or up to week before or after the other tests.
Listening and Speaking modules are the same for Academic and General IELTS, while Reading and Writing modules are different.
All the parts are evaluated on a scale from 0 to 9 points. The total score is counted as arithmetic mean of the four section scores.
IELTS results
The results are issued 13 days after the test.
There is no minimum score required to pass IELTS. IELTS score is evaluated on a scale from 0 to 9 points. The IELTS certificate is a Test Report Form. It is issued to all test takers with a score from "band 1" (non-user) to "band 9" (expert user) and each institution sets a different threshold.
IELTS certificate sample:
Overall IELTS scores are reported to the nearest half band (you can receive 7.5, 8.0, 8.5 for example).
If the overall score ends in .25, it is rounded up to the next half band (overall 6.25=6.5), and if it ends in .75, it is rounded up to the next whole band (overall 7.75=8.0).
Most top universities require 6.0-7.0 overall IELTS score for admission.
Each IELTS score corresponds to some level of English proficiency. Bands are described as follows:

- You must write your full name in CAPITAL letters. The centre number will already be completed for you.
- Indicate your candidate and the date by shading the appropriate boxes. Your candidate number will be given to you before the test and will be displayed on a piece of paper on the desk you sit at during the exam.
- Write your answers next to each question number. If you want to change you can either erase the answer and write it again, or put a line through the answer and write it again.

- It is completed in pencil and the required sections are completed.
- There is good spelling throughout.
- Only one answer has not been completed (remember you can always guess)
