IELTS Exam – What Is IELTS and Why Do I Need It?
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the most popular English language test in the world. More than two million tests are held each year.

The IELTS exam opens doors – it can help you live, study or work around the world. The IELTS exam results are recognized by over 9,000 organizations in 140 countries, including government, educational institutions, and employers.

IELTS is the only English language test recognized by the Immigration Services of all countries that require a language certificate.

If you apply for a visa for a temporary or permanent residence in the UK, IELTS is one of the recognized English language tests for this purpose. The IELTS test results are recognized by more than 8000 institutions worldwide, and only in the past year, the number of candidates enrolled in the exam exceeded two million on a global scale.

Аcademic or general IELTS

The listening and speaking modules are the same for all, but reading and writing differ depending on the purpose of the IELTS exam. If you want to study or work in a specialty where the language requirements are very high (for example in medicine or law), you need to attend the IELTS Academic Module.
If you are applying for emigration or are heading to a practical profession, you need to appear on the General Module.
