The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English proficiency test, trusted by over 12,000 organizations worldwide, including universities, employers, immigration authorities, and professional bodies. It is designed to measure a person’s ability to communicate effectively in English across listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
There are two main test formats, and the one you choose depends on your purpose:

IELTS is scored on a band scale from 0 to 9.
You receive a band score for each skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) and an overall band score (average of all 4).
Band descriptors:
9 = Expert user
8 = Very good user
7 = Good user
6 = Competent user
5 = Modest user
4 = Limited user
Most universities require an overall band score between 6.0 – 7.5 depending on the course.
