IELTS indicator

When testcenters are closed during the coronavirus pandemic, some online alternatives have been developed. IELTS has launched the IELTS Indicator, which is an alternative to the TOEFL home test or the Duolingo Test of English.

I took the IELTS test and it was really helpful to increase my admission chances to this programme. It is easy if you pay attention to good preparation.

For applying for a master in Lund University I did the IELTS language test. There are a lot of dates for giving a test, so you don’t have to stress about the time of applying.

I took the IELTS test, because I found that it is the only one that is being asked in every country. I had planned to send more applications to other universities in different countries in case I wasn’t accepted.

As I had always been fond of the British examinations in English, I registered for the IELTS exam. I should admit it was a remarkable experience; despite the fact that the examinations were demanding and in consecutive order without any break in between, I do remember this examination for its impressive results, as I got a 7.5/9.

I did the IELTS test and I suppose it is easy to get a good score if you try really hard.
