"Amar sir is highly experienced. Test sessions were very helpful. I was able to clear ALL my doubts as the batch size is only four. Sir worked with me on all the asspects in IELTS. Verbal and Quant both were my weakness. I had to work hard, but the concepts and techniques of Amar sir are excellent."

IELTS Score: 7, Project Management in Canada
"On 10 October, 2016 I started working with my dream i.e. study in Canada. To start the process, the main hurdle was English Proficiency Test as I had appeared IELTS twice before through various coaching classes, but failed to get sufficient band. I wanted to give last chance to it. So I applied again as it was the last chance to my dream. I thought of getting Global Course. Fortunately, I met Mr. Amar Singh Sir. He is the person who has a lot of expertise, tips and tricks in IELTS. Finally, I got sufficient bands to take admission . He gives personal attention to his students and not only works on their weakness but also polishes their strength. Thank you Global Course and Amar Sir to boost my career...".

If you are planning to prepare for The IELTS, the first thing you should do is to start reading some good newspaper editorials, magazines, novels, etc. Also listen to some good English in different accents. Finally, join a good IELTS Prep Course. Do not join a big batch with 10 - 20 students for your IELTS Prep. It helps you if the batch size is small i. e. 4 to 6 students. And meet the mentors before joining to check your comfort level.
IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System. It is the most popular English proficiency exam for the students willing to pursue higher education abroad. IELTS is a standardized test designed to assess English language proficiency for non-native English speakers. In India, the test is exclusively managed by IDP, i.e. International Development Programme and is widely recognized by universities, employers and immigration authorities worldwide.
IELTS Academic, IELTS General and IELTS UKVI are conducted over 4000 designated test locations in 140 countries across the globe. With more than 4 million test takers in a year, IELTS is the world's most popular English language proficiency test for higher education and global migration. The IELTS is administered across 78 IDP approved test centres in India. The Computer-Based Tests (CBT) and the Paper-Based Tests (PBT) are administered at separate test centres in India by IDP Education. The IELTS Academic and IELTS General exam fee is currently INR 17,000. The exam fee of IELTS for UKVI is INR 17,250.
Candidates willing to pursue higher education take IELTS Academic. The candidates applying for under graduation courses take the test while they are in the 12th grade. For Post-Graduation courses, you need to take it while you are in the final year as the validity of IELTS is only two years from the date of declaration of the result.
The candidates applying for Permanent Residency (PR) Visa for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. need to take IELTS General. IELTS General is similar to IELTS Academic i.e. Listening, Writing Task 2 and Speaking are the same for General IELTS and Academic IELTS. However, Reading Passages and Writing Task 1 are different. Reading Passage 3 of IELTS General is similar to all the 3 Reading Passages of IELTS Academic. On the other hand, Reading Passage 1 and Reading Passage 2 of IELTS General are easier, but the scoring also is different for General Reading.
IELTS for UKVI is an officially approved English Language Test recognised by the UK government. It allows applicants to demonstrate their proficiency in English while applying for a UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI). If you are planning to study, work or migrate to the UK, you need to appear for IELTS for UKVI. Universities, colleges, and professional bodies will only accept IELTS for UKVI scores. Regular IELTS will not be considered. Various visa categories require applicants to have an English language qualification from the list of Secure English Language Tests (SELT tests) approved by the UK Home Department.
More than 140 countries accept IELTS for various purposes, including:
Thousands of universities, educational institutions, and immigration authorities in countries such as the United States of America (The USA), Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom (The UK), New Zealand, Germany, Singapore, etc. recognize IELTS scores.
The main eligibility criterion for the IELTS exam is that you must be at least 16 at the time of registration for the exam. There's no upper age limit. Also, the candidate must hold a valid passport at the time of registration for IELTS and it is required as the identity proof at the time of appearing for IELTS.
No minimum qualification is set by IDP Education to take IELTS. However, most of the candidates take IELTS Academic on the completion of their 12th grade or graduation to pursue higher education.
A candidate can sit for IELTS as many times as he desires. However, please note that you will need to register and pay the full fee of IELTS, i.e. Rs. 17,000 for each attempt. Hence, prepare well and try to get the required scores in the first attempt. In the worst scenario, you may make the second attempt, but not beyond that.
Computer - based IELTS is conducted on almost all the working days in most of the cities across the world. Thus, the IELTS date is never a problem. Hence, you can register for IELTS from 3 days and to 3 months before the test.
The IELTS exam assesses your English language skills across four core modules viz Listening, Reading and Writing…
1. Listening: 40 Questions - 30 minutes Approx.

You will be asked to answer multiple-choice questions, short answer questions and fill in the blanks based on the played recordings.
2. Reading: 40 Questions - 60 minutes
The Reading module tests your comprehension skills by presenting a variety of academic and general passages.

Two passages will have 13 questions each, while one passage will have 14 questions. In General Reading, the candidates are given 3 sections, each having 13 or 14 questions. However, two sections may have more than one passage each.
3. Writing: 2 Tasks - 60 minutes
This module assesses your written English skills in terms of task achievement, grammar, vocabulary and coherence. A candidate will be given two writing tasks, i.e. a descriptive response and a more analytical or persuasive response. Writing Task 2 will be a descriptive or a persuasive essay in both IELTS Academic and IELTS General. However, in IELTS Academic will be a picture description. The given picture may be a pie chart, bar graph, line graph, table, flow chart, map, etc. Whereas, in General Writing Task 1, the candidates are asked to write a formal letter or an informal letter.
In both Academic IELTS and General IELTS, Writing Task 1 is scored out of 3 in a multiple of half band. Whereas, the score in Writing Task 2 will be given out of 6 and in a multiple of half band.

4. Speaking: 11 - 14 minutes
The Speaking module evaluates your spoken English fluency and communication skills in a one - on - one personal interview. You may expect an introductory conversation, questions about familiar topics and a discussion of a specific topic in some detail. Your Speaking section is broadly divided in to three parts.
In part one, you will be asked very simple questions about you. There may 4 - 5 such questions in part one. You will be given a topic for detailed description in part two. You will get a minute to prepare your response. You may make notes on the ‘Cue Card’ on which the topic of part is written. Thereafter, you will be asked to speak your response in 1 - 2 minutes. You are free to look at the notes while you speak. Finally, part three will have some questions for discussion related to part two. The whole audio of the interview is recorded and kept for future reference. Your score will be based on the clarity and relevance of your response to the topic.
In each of the four modules of IELTS, the scores are given out 9 bands and in a multiple of 0.5. The final band you are given is the average of the scores secured in the four modules. For example, if a candidate has secured 8/ 9 in Listening, 7/ 9 each in Reading, Writing and Speaking, The total score will 7.5/ 9 bands. The final score is rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.5.
A score of 7/ 9 or above, with not less than 6/ 9 in any of the four modules, is considered a good score in IELTS Academic. Whereas, 8777 (Eight Tripple Seven) is considered ideal in IELTS General, i.e. 8/ 9 bands in Listening and 7/ 9 bands each in Reading, Writing and Speaking. Good luck!
