More than 2 million IELTS exams were administered worldwide in 2013.

Created by ESL experts at Cambridge University in the UK, IELTS has now overtaken the TOEFL to become the world’s leading English proficiency exam for college and university admissions. IELTS is offered in 120 countries at more than 500 centers. North America followed by the Philippines and Hong Kong, have recently experienced the largest growth in test-takers, while China, Australia, and India continue to be the largest markets for IELTS.

Over 6,000 educational institutions, government agencies, and professional organizations across 120 countries accept IELTS scores, including more than 2,500 U.S. universities and professional bodies. IELTS is jointly owned by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL).

IELTS tests all four language skills – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview with a certified Examiner. It is interactive and as close to a real-life situation as a test can get. IELTS has two versions – Academic and General Training. The Academic test is for those who want to study at a tertiary level in an English-speaking country. The General Training test is for those who want to do work experience or training programs, secondary school, or migrate to an English-speaking country. People migrating to Australia, Canada and New Zealand must take the General Training test. All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking tests but different Reading and Writing tests.
