IELTS is a standardized test used to measure whether the students applying abroad have an acceptable level of English or not. IELTS assess the level of the students on the basis of four language skills, necessary for communication. These are listening, reading, writing and speaking. Students must make themselves familiar with the test format in advance. It is highly recommended that those who want to achieve a higher band score prepare themselves with the help of an experienced teacher.

Every month up to four IELTS tests are conducted by British Council and IDP jointly. The test is prepared by Cambridge University. The test is conducted on specific dates decided in advance by the authorities. In total there are 48 test dates. The main test that is Listening, Reading and Writing is conducted either on Thursdays or Saturdays as per the fixed dates while speaking may be scheduled any day within seven days from the main test. A student who desires to appear in the test must have a valid passport.
