What is IELTS and how do I register for the test in Utrecht?
The purpose of the IELTS test is to determine the English language proficiency of non-native speakers who intend to study or work in English speaking environment or to emigrate to an English speaking country.
The test is recognised by American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, British and European universities.
How does it work?
All candidates are tested in four areas: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The Listening and Speaking modules are the same for everyone, but the choice of Reading and Writing modules is determined by the purpose for taking IELTS:
Academic Reading and Writing modules are suitable for those seeking admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
General Training Reading and Writing modules are suitable for candidates who are going to English-speaking countries to complete their secondary education or to undertake work experience or training programmes not at degree level. The General Training modules are also used for immigration purposes.
The exam consists of four parts, which are organised on the same day:
Listening: duration 40 minutes
Reading: duration one hour
Writing: two written tasks, one hour
Speaking: face-to-face interview, 15 minutes
