  4. How Difficult Is IELTS exam?

  5. To understand this question, you must know the format of the exam. So let’s move to the format of the IELTS exam to understand the difficulty level of the exam. IELTS Format IELTS is available in two types Academic and General Training. IELTS Academic is taken on paper or a computer in a test center, in addition, it can now be taken online at home or any private location with a stable internet connection. IELTS General Training can only be taken on paper or a computer in a test center. To understand completely how difficult is IELTS, keep reading! You take the same Speaking and Listening tests for Academic and General Training, but the difference is in the Reading and Writing sections. Be sure you are preparing for the correct type of exam. There is no break between the Listening, Reading, and Writing sections of any IELTS exam; these are completed on the same day. Whereas your speaking test can be scheduled before or after your listening, reading, and writing section.

  6. So lets understand every section of IELTS to know how difficult is IELTS. There are following four sections in the IELTS exam: • Listening • Reading • Writing • Speaking

  7. This is the section where the student listens to the recording provided by the examiner. There are a total of 4 sections in the listening exam, in which you will listen to the 4 different recordings: Recording 1: In this, you listen to the conversation between two people, mostly, you hear a recording of a person inquiring about something. Recording 2: In this, you will hear one person talking, like giving detail about something or a podcast. You will hear about local facilities mainly. Recording 3: You will get an educational discussion between teacher and student or student and student. Mainly you group discussion in this recording. Recording 4: You will listen to a person who is giving a lecture on something that may be related to education or general issues. The total time for the listening test is 40 minutes. For 30 minutes, the recording will play, and 10 minutes for transferring answers to the sheet. In these 4 recordings, the last one is considered the most difficult because sometimes the speaker speaks a little faster than other recordings. But you can easily perform well in the last section of listening by just listening to it with focus. Listening

  8. The 40 questions in the reading section of the IELTS exam are designed to assess a wide range of skills of students. You only have 1 hour for this section of the IELTS exam, and you won’t get any extra time to transfer the answers. These skills include skimming, understanding logical arguments, reading for gist, reading for key ideas, reading to get detail, reading for comprehension, and recognizing the opinions, attitudes, and purposes of writers. These three long paragraphs come from books, journals, magazines, and newspapers. They have been chosen for a non-specialist audience but are suitable for students starting university courses or looking for careers. There are two types of reading: Academic reading This reading is for students who want to go abroad for study purposes. This is part of IELTS academics. This reading has three paragraphs and 40 questions. General reading This reading is for students who are applying for PR or for the work permit. There are a total of 4 paragraphs in this reading, but the number of questions is the same as in the academic reading. Reading

  9. The total time allotted for this section of IELTS is 1 hour. The writing section of the IELTS exam also has two sections: IELTS writing task 1 In this, you will get a visual representation of the information. You have to write what you can see in the visual representation, you can’t add anything from your side in this task. For this section, you have to write a minimum of 150 words. This section is different for both IELTS academics and IELTS general training. IELTS writing task 2 The second part of the IELTS Writing section requires you to write an essay responding to a point of view, an argument, or a problem. You may use a formal style and at least 250 words in your essay. It would be great if you tried to complete it in less than 40 minutes. Writing

  10. In this section of the IELTS exam, you have to give an interview with the examiner. This section can be scheduled before or after the listening, reading, and writing test. The total time for this section is around 10 to 15 minutes. There are three parts of this section: Introduction In this part, the examiner will ask you questions related to the following topics • Work • Study • Hometown • Art • Bicycles • Birthdays • Childhood Cue-Card In this part, the examiner will give you a topic on which you have to speak for at least 1.30 to 2 minutes. You will get 1 minute of preparation time for this part. Follow-up In the last part of the speaking section, the examiner will ask you questions related to the cue card or some general topics. You have to speak for at least 20 to 30 seconds for every answer in this part. It is advised to you not to stop talking until the examiner asks you in the 2nd part of the speaking. Try to make eye contact to look confident and show some hand gestures also. Speaking
