IELTS Should I sit for it?

The IELTS or International English Language Testing System is well-acknowledged as a gauge of one's English language ability and is a reliable assessment of whether candidates are ready to meet the demands and challenges of a course of study or training conducted in the English medium.

IELTS is jointly managed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), British Council and IDP: IELTS Australia. IELTS conforms to the highest international standards of language assessment.

IELTS is an internationally accepted English language proficiency test and is recognized in English speaking countries such as Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand. It is also recognised by professional bodies, immigration authorities and other government agencies. Since its introduction, increasing interest in the test has been shown by the academic institutions in Canada and the USA.
