What are the IELTS tests, thank you!!

IELTS is an English language proficiency test for those who intend to study or work in English-speaking countries and regions, and is divided into academic (A) and training (G).

You don't have to study if you don't go abroad, all you learn is some test-taking skills, and it doesn't have much use for ability.

If you want to improve your English, I think it's best to memorize new concepts, from new concept 2 to new concept 3, I believe that English will be greatly improved, and then I will memorize new concept 4 again, English is a hard work, nothing difficult, memorize more natural mouth is.

If you want to go abroad, you need IELTS or TOEFL.

Applying abroad is inherently complicated, and there are so many options for taking IELTS, if you want to study in the UK, what kind of IELTS can you take to study abroad? So let's take a look at how to choose the 3 types of IELTS exams in this article, and you will definitely have a reward.

1. Exam Categories.

This is what we call regular IELTS, and it is divided into two types: A and G. Type A is academic IELTS, and most students who go to the UK to study undergraduate and master's degrees are particularly exposed to this type of IELTS.

Type G is IELTS for General Training and is generally taken by immigrants who are coming to the UK for employment or for training or non-degree courses.

Since previous years, the UK Visas and Immigration Authority (UKVI) has introduced a new policy for secure English language tests for visa categories.

IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration is a test run by UK Visas and Immigration for specific types of UK visa applications. The content of the UKVI and regular IELTS tests is the same, but it is more expensive.

The third category is the IELTS Life Skills test. This is mainly for technicians who have migrated to the UK, or those who have invested in the UK, and the format of the exam is very simple, only checking the speaking and listening level.

Second, how to choose.

The content, format, difficulty, examiners and marking criteria of IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) are the same as regular IELTS. The difference, in addition to the appearance of the test transcript, is the more cumbersome process before the exam.

1) If the student meets the language requirements for unconditional admission and goes directly to the UK to study for an undergraduate, master's or doctoral degree, the UK institution is a highly trusted sponsor, and the student only needs to submit the required proof of English language proficiency, including IELTS scores.

2) Students who are going to the UK for non-degree courses, such as language courses, international foundation courses, Year One diploma courses, pre-master's courses, etc., must follow the new regulations of the UKVI, and students must take the test at a test centre authorised to provide IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration, and must also specify the purpose of the test at the time of registration.

Hello and a pleasure to serve you :

If you want to take IELTS, it's very simple, don't worry, I'll tell you little by little:

IELTS: International English Proficiency Test. This test is designed for non-English-speaking students who apply to study or immigrate to English-speaking countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc.), and is used to assess candidates' ability to use English.

IELTS: consists of four parts, Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, with a total duration of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Each section is scored independently, and the average of the four sections is used as the candidate's IELTS composite score (the decimal part is rounded to the nearest one or half of the score, i.e. if the average score is scored, the IELTS score counts as 6).

The score sheet will list the candidate's score for each section, along with the candidate's overall score. The IELTS test has a maximum score of 9.

IELTS Score Report: Test results will be notified to candidates within ten working days after the test.

IELTS score validity: The score is valid for two years.

There are two types of IELTS exams: general training, which is currently more suitable for immigrants; At present, academic is mostly suitable for studying abroad.

Listening test: 40 minutes, the questions are divided into four parts. The first part is a conversation that happens in everyday life (usually two people), and the second part is a life-related monologue; The third part is an academic conversation (usually more than two people), and the fourth part is an academic speech, which increases in difficulty (and sometimes some sentences have a strong accent or idiom in order to re-select the elite).

Usually the first three sections are divided into two sections, each with a different question. Candidates will have a short period of time to review after listening to each recording (but they will not repeat their answers, so they will write out their answers immediately). It will take 30 minutes for all the recordings to be played, and the remaining 10 minutes will be for candidates to fill in the answers from the test paper to the answer sheet.

When the time is up, the examiner will collect the test paper and ask the candidate to turn the answer sheet over.

Reading test: 60 minutes in time, the questions are divided into three parts. Each passage is about 1200-1500 words, about 13-14 questions, a total of 40 questions, and the examiner will collect the answer sheets and test papers when the time is up.

Writing test: The time is also 60 minutes. There are two questions, the first is to read a picture description (Category A) or a letter (Category G), which requires 150 words and 20 minutes; The second is a discussion ** or expository essay (mainly argumentative), which requires 250 words and 40 minutes.

Time is combined, and finally collected together. It is best to write a large essay (250 words) first after the paper is issued, because it accounts for a large number of points, and the remaining time is to write a small essay.

Speaking test: It is conducted one-on-one, and the examiner will first ask the candidate some personal questions and choose a topic to follow. After a certain level, the examiner presents the question card and asks the candidate to make and appropriately discuss the content involved in the question for no less than one minute.

Finally, the examiner will discuss some in-depth topics with the candidate to assess the candidate's coping ability. The total length is 14 minutes.

Hope it helps.

Reading, Listening, and Writing are tested in the same morning, and Speaking is tested in the afternoon or the next morning. Each accounts for 9 points, and the total score goes to the average of the four subjects.

Listening, reading, and writing are tested in one and a half days, and speaking is tested separately.

Speaking, Reading, Listening, Writing.

The IELTS test consists of four sections:

Listening: 40 minutes (including 10 minutes to transcribe answers). Candidates listen to four recordings, which increase in difficulty as the exam progresses.

These recordings include monologues and dialogues, and the exam will hear different English accents and dialects. The recording can only be listened to once, but it will give the candidate some time to read the questions and record the answers.

Academic reading: 60 minutes. Candidates will read three passages and answer the questions at the end of the passage. Articles are selected from books, magazines, periodicals and newspapers, and do not require the reader's expertise. At least one article contains a detailed argument.

Essays will be taken from newspapers, advertisements, manuals and books to test candidates' ability to understand and use information. The test consists of a longer descriptive rather than an argumentative essay.

In the second part, candidates are required to write a short essay of about 250 words on a certain issue or idea, and they are required to be able to discuss and argue the problem using the appropriate tone and register (including vocabulary, grammar, etc.).

Training Writing: 60 minutes. The first part requires candidates to write a letter of about 150 words asking for information or explaining a situation.

The second part requires candidates to write a short essay of approximately 250 words based on the question or point of view given, and the candidate is required to be able to express his or her point of view and refute other points of view using the appropriate tone and register (including vocabulary, grammar, etc.).

Speaking: 11 to 14 minutes. The exam is a one-to-one interview that measures the candidate's ability to speak on a daily basis, describe familiar topics at length, and interact with the examiner.

The speaking test may be scheduled on any day from the week before and the week after the test, but it will try to be scheduled in the afternoon of the test day (Saturday and Thursday) or the whole day of the test day (Sunday and Friday).

General training is currently more suitable for immigrants; At present, academic is mostly suitable for studying abroad. You can go to [Beijing Foreign Language IELTS] to find out about it.
