IELTS Examination Preparatory

As alternative to the TOEFL, students looking to pursue higher education in various English-speaking nations that include USA, Malaysia and Australia are mandated to take IELTS test. This course is designed to help adequately prepare you to successfully score high mark that guarantee enrolment into top colleges and universities around the world.

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System and it required by many English-speaking institutions to get an idea of how proficient future students or employees are in English. Many institutions will allow you to take the IELTS or the TOEFL and usually only require results from either one in order to accept you.

  • Writing- forming grammatically accurate sentence structures and efficiently arranging word content.
  • Speaking- proper pronunciation of words and confident expression of opinions and ideas.
  • Reading- understanding both basic and advanced English words and sentences in addition to charts and graphs.

At ILC, we understand that the key to passing the IELTS test is being able to fully grasp just how the entire exam is structured. We are committed to helping you accomplish that and we will provide sample tests to help with revision and general preparation. In addition to that, we will also help students better manage their time to ensure that they complete each section of the exam.

For learners unfamiliar with how the IELTS exam works:

  • Candidates are graded from 1.0-9.0.
  • A 1.0 score is for non-English speakers and a 9.0 is for expert English speakers.
  • In order to successfully apply to most institutions, students will need a score of at least 6.0.
