Can I prepare for the IELTS test and take the BEC Intermediate?

I'll talk about my experience, you can refer to it to know the answer...

I reported the BEC Intermediate in 2011 but never reviewed it.

Later, I reported for IELTS in October, because IELTS only has more than 20 days, so I didn't care about BEC at all, but I still went to take the naked test once, just the weekend before IELTS.

Later, I took the B2 exam... IELTS 6

So my suggestion is that you can take the test together. But to learn my lesson, both have to be specially prepared, especially BEC involves a lot of professional things.

The Intermediate and Advanced scores of the BEC test cannot be used as IELTS scores when going abroad. BEC focuses on Nathan English for business, while IELTS tests your ability to speak all aspects of English.

1. The BEC score consists of four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, each accounting for 25% of the total score, and only the total score is required to pass. The criteria for each part of the criticism are different, for example, listening and reading are each question with a raw score, and then converted according to a certain standard, which is more complicated. Take spoken language as an example:

The rubric test is based on four components: pronunciation, accuracy, fluency and communication ability.

2. The IELTS test adheres to the concept of "communication-oriented", and is the first international test in the world to comprehensively assess English proficiency from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing, which can accurately assess candidates' English language and chiropractic ability in a three-dimensional and comprehensive manner. It is the world's most recognized international English language test, recognized by more than 10,000 institutions in more than 140 countries and regions around the world, and more than 3 million people take the IELTS test every year.

BEC and IELTS test in different directions: BEC is Business English, and the test content will have a lot of business vocabulary. For example, banks, pretending to be the world**, etc.; IELTS, on the other hand, is a test of life and life, and the content is related to daily life learning.

For example, if you look at banking topics, BEC may focus on bank letters of credit, accounts payable, etc.; IELTS will look at how you go to the bank to open an account, how to send money, and so on.

BEC and IELTS have different uses, so their focus is different from the order of the above four aspects: BEC is known as a stepping stone to foreign companies, mainly used to improve the basic business capabilities; IELTS is mainly for study abroad or immigration, and the immigration IELTS (Category G) test focuses on the English necessary for daily life, and the academic category (Category A) is more difficult than the G category, and is used to study abroad to examine the English ability necessary for academic purposes.

IELTS is recognized by more than 6,000 colleges and universities around the world, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the Netherlands and other countries have priority recognition of IELTS scores, among which Australian student visas only accept IELTS scores. At present, there are more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States (as of July 2010), such as the top 8 Ivy League universities all accept IELTS scores. English-taught programs in European countries such as France, Denmark, and Finland also require an IELTS score.

You can directly select the exam level. The BEC exam does not require every level to be taken, and you can directly take the advanced level if you don't take the intermediate level.

1. The examination is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced, and candidates need to choose the examination level suitable for their own level.

2. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are all covered. The exam is conducted in two stages: the first is a written test, which includes reading, writing, and listening; The second stage is an oral examination. Depending on the level of the exam, the length of each part of the exam varies.

If you want to enter a foreign company, BEC is very practical.

Preparation: 2, 3, 4 sets of past papers repeatedly, a blue speaking book to familiarize yourself with all the topics, you can also buy a book dedicated to BEC writing.
