What is IELTS?
IELTS tests are held in more than 500 centres with tests up to 4 times per month. IELTS respects international diversity and is fair to anyone who sits the test, regardless of nationality. ULearn specializes in providing IELTS English courses for exam preparation throughout the academic year.
You can choose from two types of IELTS test: Academic or General Training, depending on whether you want to study, work or migrate. Both modules are made up of four parts – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. IELTS results are graded on the unique IELTS 9-band scale.
To help you prepare, IELTS provides test samples and Official IELTS Practice Materials. The test covers the full range of ability from non-user to expert user. You are not limited in how many times you can sit the test.
