IELTS Test Format – A test of all four language skills
IELTS is a test of your language skills in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. IELTS is available in two test formats: Academic or General Training. There are four parts – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The total test time is 2 hours and 55 minutes. All test takers take the same Listening and Speaking tests but different Reading and Writing tests.Listening, Reading and Writing must be completed on the same day, with no breaks in between them. The order in which these tests are taken may vary. The Speaking test will either be after a break on the same day as the other three tests, or up to a week before or after the other tests. This will depend on your test centre.
Among these four tests, Listening, Reading and Writing must be in one day but the Speaking test date may be either before these test or after the day of written test. But no need to worry, you will be informed by us or from test center such as IDP or British Council. Do not rely on information given by other parties.
