IELTS is a popular test for assessing the language skills of international students seeking admission to undergraduate and postgraduate programs in English-speaking countries. Universities in the UK, USA, and Australia widely accept IELTS scores.
The test evaluates students’ abilities in four key areas:
Speaking

Listening
There are two IELTS test types:
Academic

The online version is available three times a day throughout the week, and results are delivered within five working days.
Listening, reading, and writing tests are taken on the same day, while the speaking test can be scheduled up to a week before or after the other sections.
Keep in mind that test dates may vary by location, so plan carefully, especially if you're traveling.
