IELTS assesses your English-language proficiency across four skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking in either an academic, higher education or practical, everyday setting.
There are different test types you can take including: IELTS Academic test, IELTS General Training test and Life Skills (A1, A2 or B1) test. The test type you need to take will depend on your intent. If you want to study in higher education in an English-speaking country, you might need to take the IELTS Academic test.
