How is the IELTS?
IELTS tests all four language skills (Listening, Reading Comprehension, Writing, and Speaking). In both the IELTS Academic test and the IELTS General Training, the Listening and Speaking tests are the same. However, the reading comprehension (Reading) and written expression (Writing) tests differ.
IELTS Reading, Listening, and Writing are taken on the same day. The order in which these tests are taken may vary. There are no breaks between these three tests. IELTS Speaking can be taken on the same day as the other sections or on a different day (before or after).
