The International English Language Testing System is a standardized English proficiency test that assesses English Language skills in the areas of Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. It is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP- Australia and University of Cambridge ESOL EXAMINATIONS.
IELTS has two Modules - Academic and General Training. The Academic Module is required to be given by students who plan to study at Undergraduate or Postgraduate levels. While, the General Training Module is generally a prerequisite for candidates who wish to pursue their vocational studies or for those who wish to migrate to an English speaking country.
Academic & General Writing Module
The Writing sections on the Academic & General Module have two essay writing tasks. You will be given 1 hour to complete both essays. In the task 1 of this Module, candidates will be presented with a graph, table, chart or diagram and will assess on their ability to compare data or describe the stages of a process.
In task 1 of the General Module, candidates are required to write a letter explaining a situation or a problem. They will be assessed on their ability to engage in personal correspondence, while expressing needs or requesting for assistance on a particular issue.
Task 2 of the Academic & General Writing Module presents test takers with a point of view and evaluates them on their ability to challenge ideas and present solutions, while justifying an opinion for the same.
