Thus a student is moulded to face the IELTS exam with confidence and vigour.

IELTS Syllabus

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) generally has two test formats- IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. You can opt for any one of them depending upon your requirement or the university/ course you will be applying to. IELTS Academic is accepted by universities where you are applying for an undergraduate or postgraduate programme or by any professional organisation that asks for English language proficiency scores. On the other hand, people opt for IELTS General Training when they plan on relocating to another country or move to a new country on a work-visa or for work-related training. Here is the IELTS exam syllabus covering writing, reading, listening and speaking-

Reading

The reading module consists of three texts of general interest dealing with issues which are appropriate for candidates entering postgraduate or undergraduate courses. Both reading modules consist of three passages or sections with forty questions. Question types include multiple choice, sentence or summary completion, identifying data for short-answer questions, matching lists or phrases and identifying writers' views/attitudes.
No. of questions: About 40
Total time: 60 minutes

IELTS Exam Reading Pattern

Academic

This includes three long paragraphs which can be either descriptive, factual or analytical. These paragraphs are basically excerpts taken from newspapers, research works, journals, books, or even magazine. Targeting a non-specialist audience, the texts are ideal for testing higher education aspirants or for professionals seeking work abroad.

General Training

Similar to the academic format, here the excerpts can be passages from advertisements, company guidelines, brochures, and so on. This is relatively easier than the academic format as the selected text are generally something that one encounters on a day-to-day basis.

Writing

Responses to the academic writing module are short essays or general reports, addressed to an educated non-specialist audience. There are two compulsory tasks.
Task 1 (at least 150 words), and candidates are asked to look at a diagram, table or data and to present the information in their own words.
Task 2 (at least 250 words), and candidates are presented with a point of view, argument or problem and asked to provide general factual information, present a solution, justify an opinion, evaluate ideas and evidence etc.
Total no. of questions: 2 (1 for each task )
Total time: 60 minutes

IELTS Exam Writing Pattern

They will be required to recapitulate and define the given data in their own words. candidates may be asked to explain a certain data entry, process the given information or a flowchart to logically arrive at a conclusion.
  • For the second task, candidate need to write an essay as a response to their deduction from the given data and support their argument with relevant examples, through the given data. Please note that the writing style should be strictly formal.

It includes two tasks wherein the topics are of general interest and relatable for candidates applying for an undergraduate or postgraduate programme.

General Training

It also includes two tasks, yet, it is much easier than that of the academic format.

  • Based on the above viewpoint, you will be asked to draft an essay on the same. The arguments and opinions mentioned here should be supported by relevant instances and the writing style can be a bit personal.
  • You will be asked to write a letter as per the given situation. The letter can be formal, semi-formal or personal depending upon the situation presented. You will be asked to explain, request for something or support your argument to a certain authority.

Listening

The Listening module is divided into four sections. The first two conversations are concerned with social needs, while the last two are concerned with situations more closely related to education. They will all be of approximately three minutes duration. The conversations could be both monologues and dialogues. These conversations can be heard only once. A variety of question types are asked, like multiple choice, short-answer questions, notes completion, sentence completion, labelling a diagram etc.
Total no. of questions: 40+
Total time: 45 minutes ( approximately) + 10 minutes to transfer the answers to an answersheet

Speaking

The Speaking section is like a structured interview with an emphasis on general speaking skills. It assesses whether candidates have the required knowledge and skills to communicate effectively with native speakers of English.
Total no. of questions: 3 parts - Personal Interview, Little Speech and a Discussion
Total time: 11 to 14 minutes

IELTS Speaking Pattern

The speaking part can be divided into three parts:

  • For the first five minutes, you will be asked some mundane questions about yourself such as family, home, studies, your hobbies and interests, and so on.
  • Next, the examiner will hand you a flash card that would contain a certain topic. You will be given a minute or two to familiarize yourself with the topic as you would need to speak on that topic for about two minutes. Post your speech, the examiner might ask a few questions based on your understanding of the topic.
  • Deeper questions and abstract discussion would take place based on the given topic and your speech. You will get the opportunity to explore your given topic and delve into deeper issues. You can expect this part to last for five-six minutes.

IELTS Scoring in detail

The IELTS Academic and General Training test results are reported using the same nine-band scale

The Test Report Form provides your Overall Band Score and band scores for each of the four components: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

Overall Band Score

The Overall Band Score is the average of the four component scores, rounded to the nearest whole or half band. The component scores are weighted equally.
Some Examples:

Listening Reading Writing Speaking Average of four components Band Score
Test taker A 6.5 6.5 5 7 6.25 6.5
Test taker B 4.0 3.5 4.0 4.0 3.875 4.0
Test taker C 6.5 6.5 5.5 6.0 6.125 6.0

If the average of the four components ends in .25, the Overall Band Score is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, the Overall Band Score is rounded up to the next whole band.

Component Band Scores

Listening

The IELTS Listening test contains 40 questions. Each correct answer is awarded one mark. Scores out of 40 are converted to the IELTS nine-band scale. Scores are reported in whole and half bands.

Reading

The IELTS Reading test contains 40 questions. Each correct answer is awarded one mark. Scores out of 40 are converted to the IELTS nine-band scale. Scores are reported in whole and half bands.

The Academic and General Training Reading tests are graded on the same scale. The distinction between the two tests is one of genre or text type.
