You must complete four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking to obtain an IELTS Test Report Form.
You are tested in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The total test time is two hours and 45 minutes.
You have a choice between Academic and General Training. These modules have different Reading and Writing papers.
The first three modules - Listening, Reading and Writing - must be completed in one day. No extra time will be allowed for a break during the first three modules. The speaking test can take place within 6 days before or after the written test. Normally, this takes place the following day in Japan. Please check the dates of your tests very carefully when you receive your invitation letter. Your time slots for the speaking test will also be confirmed in the invitation letter. This is sent to you 2 weeks before your test.
