Authentic information from British Council IELTS

We only show authentic data from IELTS and the British Council.

I knew from one of my friends that IELTS is one of the best tests. I made a little research online upon the language tests and I decided to take IELTS.

I have chosen IELTS, because it is cheaper and reflects more what you can deal with than how you can circle the grammar closed questions. I liked that test, because you can handle the topics of the two essays there as you wish.

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.

The universities I applied for had all language requirements, so I took IELTS. Considering the fact that I prepared for it at home and I started with a very basic level of writing I eventually passed the test.

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.
