International English Language Testing System, IELTS, is a standardized test that assesses the proficiency level of English Language, for non-native English Language speakers. IELTS is accepted in over 10,000 colleges and other institutions. IELTS is a standardized test that is both computer-based as well as paper-based. Accepted by many English-speaking academic and professional institutions, IELTS is one of the two major English-Language tests, the other being TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). 

IELTS is available in two modules:

The test time for an IELTS exam is 2 hours and 45 minutes. The test is offered up to 4 times in a month. The scores of an IELTS exam remain valid for 2 years. IELTS is reported as band scores from 1 to 9, 1 being the lowest and 9 the highest. An IELTS exam tests the following skills to assess the proficiency of the English Language in a candidate:
