FAQs on IELTS

What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training?

IELTS academic is given by those who wish to enroll at a college/university to pursue studies. Whereas, IELTS General Training is given by those who wish to migrate to a foreign country for work.

How to register for IELTS?

  • Visit the official IELTS website.
  • Register for the test.
  • Select the test type and date.
  • Give all your details in the application form.
  • Upload all your documents
  • (candidate’s passport). This step is not mandatory.

Galaxy offers free registration services for all enrolled and non-enrolled students. For enrolled students, we offer Rs.500 discount on IDP – IELTS test fees.

What topics are covered in IELTS?

A wide range of topics are covered and they are relevant and accessible to those wanting to study at university level. No specialist knowledge is required.

Is the Listening module different for Academic and General Training?

Not at all. All candidates will take the same paper in each module. Only the name of the test differs. Rest is same.

Will I have time to look at the questions before I listen?

Of course yes. You will have time to look at the questions before each set of questions. The voice prompt on the recording will indicate you which questions to look at.

How many times do I hear the recording?

You will hear each recording ONCE only (other than in the example at the beginning).

Can I write in pen or pencil?

You can write in pen or pencil, but you must write clearly. You may erase/cross out and change parts of your writing, but you must make sure that your work is easy to read.

Will I be penalised if I don’t write enough words?

Yes. You must write at least 150 words for the Task 1 question and 250 words for the Task 2 question. If you don’t write enough words, you will be penalized.

How long should I spend time on each task?

You have 1 hour to write your answers for the two tasks. It is upto you on how you divide your available time. However, remember that Task 2 contributes twice as much as Task 1 to the Writing score – so you may wish to spend 20 minutes on Task 1 and 40 minutes on Task 2. You should plan your work carefully before writing, and you should allow time to check your writing after completing a task or at the end of the test.

What can I take into the test room?

You can only take your identity document. The examiner will give you all materials you will be needing in the test.

Is IELTS compulsory?

No, IELTS isn’t compulsory in all university admissions. Many universities might not even require IELTS scores for admission purposes. But remember that if you don’t give IELTS, your chances of getting the student visa might suffer as the visa officers may not be convinced about your English proficiency without IELTS scores. So, it is safer to appear for IELTS.

Which countries accept IELTS?

IELTS is accepted by most Australian, British, Canadian, European, Irish, and New Zealand academic institutions, by over 3,000 academic institutions in the United States, and by various professional organizations across the world.

The IELTS exam is accepted by immigration authorities of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK – as a proof of prospective immigrants’ competence in English.

How much is the fee?

The registration fee for the IELTS exam differs in each country.

In India, the IELTS test fee is Rs.18000 + Rs.150 as service charge.

What is the exam eligibility?

Anyone above the age of 16 years and having a valid passport can take the IELTS test. If you wish to study, work or migrate to the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand and study or work in the US, you can take this test.

Whether to take IELTS on a computer or paper?

IELTS can be taken on a computer or paper.

If you go for Paper-Based IELTS you will write answers in either pen or HB-pencils. The Speaking test is carried out face-to-face with an IELTS examiner.

However, if you take Computer-based IELTS you will take the Listening, Reading, and Writing sections on a computer. The Speaking test will remain face to face with a trained IELTS Examiner.

The choice totally depends on your comfort, if your typing speed is good then you can opt for a computer-based test otherwise you should stick to the traditional paper-based exam.

How to prepare for IELTS?

There are two ways – self-study or taking professional help.

If you have a really good command over the English language, it is manageable to study by yourself.

  • You can buy some IELTS self-study books, “The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS” is one top recommendation by many. The British Council website has a list of books with brief descriptions that you could refer to.
  • Also, there are loads of free study material for IELTS preparation available on the Internet.
  • Start taking practice test papers. These are available on the IELTS website where you will also get answers to sample questions given.
  • Then there are YouTube videos that are especially useful for speaking and listening tests.

And if you want to fasten your learning process, it’s a good option to take some training or professional help.
