IELTS Enquiry on Results
As a study-abroad aspirant, you must have come across the term IELTS. Its abbreviation - International English Language Testing System, is an internationally-acclaimed English Language proficiency exam conducted globally to test the competency in the English Language of the non-native English speakers.
IELTS is scored in a 9-band scale, and is one of the oft-chosen tests by international students. A good IELTS score is a pre-requisite to get admission to several top-ranked universities in the world.
The exam has four sections - Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing (LSRW). Each section has been assigned a specific score, which tests your level of English in that category. You will have to score a minimum band in each section to clear the exam. On the whole, your score should reach an average of a minimum band of 6 combined all the four sections to pass the exam successfully.
