IELTS examines the basics of the English language. The test includes Listening, Writing, Reading, and Speaking.
First comes the listening test. The test takes half an hour. You’ll be listening to a monologue or a conversation. All you have to do is answer the questions.
The second test includes reading. This test can take an hour and comprises of 40 questions. The test will consist of a news report, a magazine excerpt, just about anything from an authentic source. The reading material will be such that anyone regardless of their qualification will be able to read and comprehend it.
The third is the writing test. First, you’ll have to summarise a given diagram, chart, or a figure. Then, you’ll be asked to write an essay in the second part of the test.
Finally comes the speaking test. Here you’ll be offered three different tasks. First, about yourself which will take 4-5 minutes. Second, you’ll be given a topic and talk about it. That will only take a minute. The last task will be of questions related to your topic. You’ll have to answer the questions offered by the test takers.
The IELTS test score can be valid for 36 months from the time you took the test. There are no restrictions and it doesn’t matter what of the world you are from. The test validity for all the citizens in the world remains 36 months starting from the day you took the test.
IELTS score can vary from 0 to 9. The IELTS score is, in fact, an average of all the band scores you take. The maximum band any test can offer is 9, while the lowest depends on the test. The lowest you can get on the listening test is 4, and 2.5 for both reading in both Academic and General Training. The band scores depend on the number of correct answers you provide.
The band score is also a measure of your grip on the language. 9 band score in any test shows you have got the complete command of English. 8 shows a good understanding but a margin of relatively rare errors. 7 shows good grip with very few errors but likely to have frequent inaccuracies. 6 shows a somewhat good grip but with frequent errors. 5 allows the basic understanding of the language but not familiar with complex situations.
There is no limit. You can take the test as much as you like to improve yourself. You are more than welcome to apply as much as you like. In order to achieve the correct IELTS score, you can try for as long as possible. It is, however, recommended that you take practice tests so that you don’t have to give the test so much.
