IELTS offers two main tests, IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, giving you the flexibility to adopt the test that suits your needs.
The IELTS scale
Educational institutions use the IELTS scale to set entry scores for their courses. Covering four sections – Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking – it provides an accurate overview of candidates' fluency.
