  7. The IELTS Academic test is a simple way to improve the candidate’s proficiency in the English language. This is a way to determine whether you are ready to study at an undergraduate or postgraduate level or work in a professional setting such as a banker, employer, nurse, lawyer, etc. Indeed, most countries accept your admission request if you have scored good marks in IELTS Academic. Thus, those countries are New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the UK, etc. Let’s go deep to know more about the types and the format of IELTS Academic tests.

  8. READING – Test Format Well, the reading section of IELTS Academic contains 40 questions. However, these questions are designed to test the candidates’ wide range of reading skills. Besides, the reading section mainly targets the main ideas, the gist, skimming, details, arguments, the logical part, and understanding and recognizing the attitude, response, and opinion of the writer. Apart from this, the reading section also includes three long tests which span the discursive and analytical to the descriptive and factual parts. Moreover, descriptive and factual thinking is mainly taken from magazines, newspapers, journals, books, or any articles. However, these parts have been selected for a non-specialist audience, especially for those who want to enter into university or professional courses directly.

  9. WRITING – Test Format There are two writing tasks in the IELTS Academic writing test format, and both are compulsory to complete. Basically, in this section topics of general interest are likely to be discussed. These topics could be part of your regular life or the examiner could also ask you the reason for entering undergraduate or postgraduate courses or seeking professional ones.

  10. LISTENING – Test Format In this section, you will listen to four recordings in the English language by native speakers, then you have to write the answers on a sheet. • In the 1st recording, you will hear a conversation between two persons talking in an everyday social context. • In the 2nd recording, you will hear a monologue of a speech talking about the local healthcare facilities or anything. • In a 3rd recording, a conversation takes place between four people in the context of education or training programs. • In the 4th recording, a monologue takes place in the context of an academic subject, for example, a university lecture.

  11. SPEAKING – Test Format This section assesses the use of spoken English. However, there are three parts that are tested. • Part 1 in which the examiner will ask general questions from the candidates about some familiar topics such as yourself, family background, study, interests, etc. However, this part takes 4 to 5 minutes approx. • In part 2, an IELTS Speaking cue card will be given in which you have to talk about a specified topic. Additionally, you have a few minutes to prepare the task for up to three minutes. • In part 3, further questions will be asked which are related to the part 2 topic. However, this task will give you more opportunities to discuss ideas and issues. Besides, this part lasts between four to five minutes.
