IELTS is a language test which measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work in places and countries where English is used as a main form of communication.
There are two main forms of the test. The Academic and the General Training test. For students who are planning on studying higher education such as University or College then you need to select the Academic Test. If you are planning to immigrate to Canada then you should take the IELTS General Training exam. Both exams will consist of four parts (listening, speaking, reading and writing). Your scores are valid for two years. Therefore, if you are grade 11 or grade 12 student, you should be preparing for the IELTS exam as soon as possible.
From my experience teaching China students, the writing and speaking modules are the most difficult and students have difficulty attaining a grade of a 6 or higher. As most Canadian Universities and Colleges have a minimum requirement of an IELTS score of 6 and above for admission, this has posed many challenges to students. Many students will also take the IELTS test numerous times in order to achieve a grade of a 6+. According the IELTS statistics of 2019. China students scored the lowest in both the Writing and Speaking Modules with only a 5.5 in Writing and 5.4 in speaking. Their overall band score is below the required 6 at only 5.8.
