IELTS stands for International English Language Testing system. It is a test that is accepted most widely in English speaking countries for a variety of purposes. This test is conducted by IDP and British council under the aegis of Cambridge University. This test has two formats: Academic and General. The Academic IELTS is required for the students who want to pursue their education abroad. For being eligible, they need a set band or score which falls generally between 6 and 8, the highest possible being band 9. The General IELTS is taken by those looking for work permit or PR abroad and here again the range is from band 6 to band 8. Whatever the case, the student has to prepare themselves for all four modules which are Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Listening and Reading are receptive skills which are aimed at checking the students’ understanding of the language. Speaking and Writing are productive skills which show the students’ dexterity in using the language across a range of situations.
