Mga madalas itanong

Is this the official IELTS test?

No. This is an independent preparation course. All passages, recordings and questions are original and only copy the task types. For official samples, use the free sample test questions on the IELTS website.

What does the certificate of completion show?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not an IELTS result or band score, and it cannot be used as proof of English for study, work, registration or a visa.

Can my practice score tell me my IELTS band?

No. Practice scores here are feedback only. Official Listening and Reading bands come from a raw score out of 40, and Writing and Speaking are marked by certificated examiners against the official criteria.

Should I take IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training?

The official IELTS website says IELTS Academic is for undergraduate or postgraduate study and for professional registration, and General Training is mainly for migration and study below degree level. Always check what your university, employer or authority asks for before you book.

How do the listening questions work?

Your device reads the script aloud, in a British English voice if it has one. In the real test you hear each recording only once, so try to answer after one listen. The script is shown after you answer, and you can read it instead if there is no sound.

How long is the final assessment?

It has 40 questions in 45 minutes, drawn at random from the whole course, so every attempt is different. You need 80% to pass.

Accredited ba o opisyal na kinikilala ang sertipiko?

Hindi. Ito ay pribadong sertipiko ng pagkumpleto para lamang sa kaalaman. Hindi ito kinikilala, hindi accredited at hindi inaprubahan ng anumang pamahalaan, ahensyang nagbibigay ng lisensya, regulator o institusyong pang-edukasyon, at hindi nito pinapalitan ang anumang lisensya, sertipikasyon o pagsasanay na hinihingi ng batas.
