IELTS tests English as it is used in real life. Unlike other tests, it provides a realistic and reliable score of a candidate’s ability across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking. The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview with a certified examiner. This gives an accurate assessment of a candidate’s ability to speak English. It’s personal, interactive and as close to a real-life situation as you can get. IELTS tests the use of English for study, work and life. You can be sure that an IELTS score demonstrates real ability, not the result of rote-learning or revising for a written exam. It’s a truly global test which reflects and respects international diversity.
