What is IELTS?

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. The test assesses the ability of the candidate to understand and use the English language in academic and professional settings. It measures four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The IELTS test is widely recognized by universities, employers, and governments around the world and is used as a means of evaluating the language ability of applicants for study, work, and migration purposes. The test is designed to be challenging, as it is intended to assess the ability to use English at a high level.
