One from the two formats of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam is General Training. This test assesses the proficiency of English language for the individuals who wish to go abroad in countries where English is used for work, training, or permanent residency purposes. It tests primarily day-to-day language skills instead of academic-oriented knowledge.
Structure of the IELTS General Training Test
The four sections of the test are:
Listening (30 minutes + 10 minutes transfer time)
Four audio recordings:
Two conversations (one in a social context, one in a training/workplace context).
Two monologues (e.g., public announcements or workplace instructions).
40 questions focusing on comprehension.
Reading (60 minutes)
Three sections with various texts:
Section 1: Short texts (notices, advertisements, etc.).
Section 2: Texts related to work/training (e.g., policies, company handbooks).
Section 3: A longer, more complex general interest text.
40 questions assessing understanding of main ideas, details, and opinions.
Writing (60 minutes)
Task 1: Writing a letter (formal, semi-formal, or informal) based on a given situation.
Minimum 150 words.
Task 2: Writing an essay presenting an opinion, argument, or discussion.
Minimum 250 words.
Speaking (11–14 minutes)
Face-to-face interview with an examiner:
Part 1: Introduction and general questions about yourself (4-5 minutes).
Part 2: Talking on a particular topic for 1-2 minutes (cue card).
Part 3: Discussion related to the topic from Part 2 (4-5 minutes).
Scoring
The IELTS scoring is on a 9-band scale, where each section has its own band score.
Overall score is therefore the average of the four sections. Usually, a higher band score (generally 6.0-8.0) is required for work or immigration.
IDP IELTS Academic is one out of two versions of the IELTS exam which stands for the International English Language Testing System. It is targeted at people who want to take up higher education or get a professional registration or an academic role in an English speaking environment. It is geared more around the language skills necessary for use in academic and formal contexts.
1. Listening (30 minutes + 10 minutes transfer time)
Four recordings: There are two conversations, for instance, one with two individuals in an everyday situation, and the prominent more towards an academic context.
There are two monologues, for instance, a taped lecture or possibly an academic talk.
40 questions testing comprehension regarding main ideas, specifics, and even opinions.
2. Reading (60 minutes)
There are three long passages that were taken from a book or perhaps a journal or an academic article.
The texts have an academic style, containing an argument with some figures or graphs or diagrams.
40 questions testing a reader’s skills in such areas including:
Finding out main ideas and details
Finding out and drawing conclusions regarding the author’s opinion and inference
Finding out and matching titles, finishing patches, and others
3. Writing (60 minutes)
Task 1: Interpreting and describing visual information presented in the form of graphs, charts, tables or even diagrams.
At least 150 words in this response.
Whether it involves summarising the main points, identifying particular details, or explaining a particular process to the readers, their focus is on resolving trends and comparisons within the data provided.
Task 2: Presenting an argument or opinion or a discussion in the form of an essay that is in an academic format.
At least 250 words.
The opponent’s case should be understood so that the argument presented is constructive, logic is illustrated throughout the essay and language is grammatically correct
