The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is your key to unlocking opportunities to work, study, or live in English-speaking countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. This test evaluates how well you can listen, read, write, and speak in English. Your performance is scored on a scale from 1 to 9. IELTS is a collaborative effort by the British Council, IDP IELTS, and Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
