What is IELTS?
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a
standardized English proficiency test accepted worldwide, particularly

requirement for studying, working, or migrating to English-speaking
nations.

IELTS consists of four main sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and
Speaking. The test is available in two versions:
