HI FRIENDS, :)
HERE IS THE BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT IELTS.HOPE IT IS USEFUL TO U. IF U HAVE OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION,PLEASE POST IT TOO


:->The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an internationally owned and globally recognised direct English language assessment of the highest quality and integrity readily available throughout the world.

:->IELTS is a highly dependable, practical and valid English language assessment primarily used by those seeking international education, professional recognition, bench-marking to international standards and global mobility.

:->IELTS is owned, developed and delivered through the partnership of the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.

Introduction

*There are two different IELTS tests that you can do: Academic and General. The following information will deal only with the Academic test as this is the test used for university entrance.

*IELTS is not a test that you can pass or fail. Your assessment will be reported according to a scale from bands one to nine. You will need to contact the university you wish to enter to find out the IELTS score they require for entry into your chosen course. Band one indicates that you have virtually no English at all. Band nine is native speaker proficiency. Universities in Australia typically require a band score of between 6 and 7.

*The test questions and tasks have been designed to reflect the general interests of people from an educated background. You will therefore not be required to have any specialist knowledge.

*The test has four components – Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking. You will receive a band score for each component as well as a global band score.

Most of the classes that teach IELTS in Ahmedadabad use the material which is photocopy material. They claim it to be theirs and do not give that material to students.
Not to worry. The material is the photo copy of the books and CD available from British Library for its IELTS members. If you inquire there you will find all the practice material that is used by most of all the classes in Ahmedabad.
