The IELTSTM, or International English Language Testing System, is one of the world's most popular English language proficiency tests for non-native English speakers. It is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who want to study or work in environments where English is the language of communication.
IELTSTM is widely recognized and accepted by universities, employers, immigration authorities, and other professional entities in English-speaking countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and many institutions in the USA. The test has two versions:
IELTSTM Academic: For individuals seeking higher education or professional registration.

Scores are given in bands from 0 to 9, with 9 being an "expert" in English and 0 being a "did not attempt the test" score. The overall band score is the average of the four individual scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking).
