It's highly recommended that you contact your
prospective school to find out if it's necessary
for you to take the IELTS exam. While there are
other English tests you might take, you should
remember that IELTS is the world's most popular
English test.

IELTS Scoring System The IELTS consists of four
modules in multiple areas of knowledge,
Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Each
module is scored on a numeric scale starting at
one and going up to nine.

Universities may use an average of all four
modules to satisfy admission requirements but
some may require specific scores for some
modules. You can find out the required band
scores for all universities on the ielts.org
website. A quick search should bring up your
preferred institution and its requirements.

As an example, the University of Oxford
requires a minimum average band score of 6.5 for
international students. However, as mentioned
above, Princeton University requires students to
have a score of at least eight on the Speaking
module.

Preparing for the IELTS Exam One of the most
common mistakes students make is not preparing
for the exam. They will register and pay to take
the test thinking that they speak, read, and
comprehend English well enough to pass the exam.

What typically occurs with these students is that
they tend to perform poorly because they are not
properly prepared. Even though there are no
penalties for not passing the exam, and you can
retake the exam as many times you as you need to,
you DO have to pay the test fee each time you
take the exam.

Other issues students experience are not being
able to follow instructions and discovering
they're unfamiliar with different areas in each
of the modules. Fortunately, IELTS offers a wide
range of free and paid test prep services you can
utilize to help you to prepare for the exam.
