What are the functions of completing the IELTS test?

First, the role of IELTS test

1 pass

If one word is used to describe the function of IELTS, the "passport" may be the closest. The rapid development of today's world provides many possibilities for the choice of life, and opportunities are everywhere. IELTS has become one of the passes for people to prove their ability to grasp and create opportunities.

At present, more than 65,438+040 countries around the world have obtained more than 65,438+00,000 colleges and universities to adopt IELTS as proof of English language ability in enrollment, immigration, recruitment and certification. No matter which country or region you go to, IELTS is the first choice for international English test.

IELTS is the first choice for British famous schools to measure the English level of applicants, and it is also the specified language proficiency certificate when applying for a skilled immigrant visa in the UK. It is the only double insurance for British universities and visa applications.

IELTS is the only English test designated by SDS (Direct Learning Program) in Canada. IELTS scores are recognized by all ANZ universities and professional associations;

In the United States, more than 3,400 institutions have recognized IELTS scores, including all Ivy League schools and American institutions ranked Top 100 in the world, which are favored by China students. In non-English speaking countries and regions, IELTS is a popular choice for English teaching programs.

In China, more and more universities and top employers recognize IELTS scores as proof of English language ability. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 300 domestic universities have recognized IELTS in flexible and diverse forms, such as offering IELTS elective courses and compulsory courses, or taking IELTS as an assessment standard for English proficiency such as admission screening, credit replacement, degree awarding and scholarship application. Nearly 400 enterprises and institutions admit that IELTS scores are proof of language ability when recruiting employees or promoting them.

2. English proficiency scale

IELTS strives to accurately test candidates' practical English application level in real context, and advocates promoting learning through examinations. So no matter what the purpose is, as long as it is necessary to test English ability, IELTS is suitable as a reference.

IELTS provides a detailed report card for each candidate, which shows the score of each skill item (1-9) and the corresponding CEFR level.

Second, the IELTS test application conditions

1, age condition

In China, there is no special requirement for the age of IELTS applicants. Anyone with an ID card can sign up for the exam. However, because English is not our mother tongue, it is difficult for ordinary students to achieve satisfactory results before adulthood. Therefore, we still recommend applying for the exam in the first year of college or at the corresponding age.

2. Identity conditions

IELTS registration also requires a wide range of documents. In our country, when applying for IELTS, you need to provide corresponding documents to show your personal identity.

3. Other requirements for the IELTS test.

As a standardized test, IELTS examines students' practical application ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Generally speaking, its difficulty is similar to that of our domestic college students. However, because there are fewer multiple-choice questions, many domestic students find IELTS more difficult.

Third, IELTS test skills

1. English and American people use pronunciation skills such as linking, weakening, missing and consonant linking in actual communication, which sounds very difficult for China students. Candidates should pay attention to these pronunciation rules when taking the exam, so as not to affect their understanding of sentences and essays.

2. Learn to give up believing in the first feeling, make a decisive decision, never repeat it, and even affect the answers behind. Remember not to suffer because you don't understand a small problem, and don't lose more problems because of one problem, resulting in a step-by-step result.

3. After that, if the exam encounters supporting questions and can't keep up with the rhythm, it is recommended that candidates use common sense and understanding of the whole article to speculate and avoid random selection.

4. You should show a positive attitude when answering questions. Candidates should usually answer all questions honestly, but some questions should be answered in a positive way and try to say the good side. For example, ask your impression of your hometown, even if you really feel terrible, don't say it.

It is the most basic and important to write your answers on the answer sheet. You should write the correct answer in the right place. In addition, you should avoid writing too fast and writing the original correct answer wrong, because the examiner can't see it clearly.

6. Besides listening to the news, we should also strengthen the simulation of the IELTS speaking test environment. There are often many candidates who practice very well at ordinary times, but when they arrive at the examination room, they get stage fright. At ordinary times, they even don't understand and can't speak, which seriously affects their examination results. In this regard, I suggest that candidates should be more at ordinary times and strengthen the practice of discussing some topics.
