If you're planning to migrate or study abroad or if you want to meet entry requirements for college and visa processing, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) will make sure you're fully prepared with the right level of English ability for your purpose.
IELTS measures test takers’ ability to communicate in English across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking.
If you want to study in an English-speaking country, IELTS is the test for you. Universities in the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Europe and Hong Kong all recognise and use IELTS scores. If you want to emigrate to an English-speaking country, IELTS is also the test for you.
