5 reasons why IELTS is the first choice for students wanting to study abroad
For almost 30 years, hundreds of students around the world have put their trust in the IELTS test and decided to take it for their studies abroad.
But why have they chosen this test rather than another such as TOEFL or TOEIC?
We have listed 5 reasons why many students decide to take IELTS.
1. Take IELTS wherever you are
One of the most important reasons is that IELTS can be taken in almost 140 different countries.
This means that wherever you are in the world, it is most likely that you will be close to an exam centre where you can take IELTS Academic, making it very accessible to anyone who needs to certify their level of English before travelling to a foreign country.
2. Recognised and accepted worldwide
Before taking a test to get into a foreign university, for example, it’s extremely important to check which tests are recognised by the university you want to study at.
One of the advantages of IELTS is that it is recognised by nearly 11,000 organisations worldwide, including employers, migration agencies and the vast majority of international universities. IELTS is one of the only English language tests recognised and accepted by each of the top 50 universities in the world, which is testament to its quality.
3. IELTS adapts to your needs
IELTS is the only English language test that gives you the choice of how you want to take your test.
Unlike TOEFL, which is only offered on a computer, if you want to take your IELTS test by hand and write all your answers by hand, IELTS will allow you to do this. Simply take your test at a test centre that offers this version of the test.
Alternatively, if you prefer to take your IELTS test digitally, the computer-based version of IELTS is for you.
Our mentors will be able to help you choose the format that suits you best.
4. IELTS, chosen for its transparency
The IELTS English test has a system that makes scoring and assessment fair and accurate thanks to its official assessment grid. The IELTS test is developed through a thoughtful design and development process. The people who make up the team responsible for writing the subjects come from different English-speaking countries and create tests that can be understood by people from different cultural backgrounds.
The panel responsible for marking and assessing candidates’ tests is certified and rigorously and regularly trained to ensure that tests are marked according to clearly defined criteria.
5. IELTS, more than just a language test
Toget the IELTS score you need to go to the university of your choice, you’ll need to prepare well for the test.
This preparation will give you the opportunity to improve your level of English significantly and immediately, both orally and in writing.
