How we build the preparation

Diagnostics

An exam-format assessment: level, strong and weak sections, target band

Individual plan

A programme built around your exam date with focus on the weak sections

Practice and mock tests

10+ runs in real exam format with a breakdown of mistakes

Most points are lost not to English itself but to the format: an unstructured essay or a lost Part 2. That is why we drill the format until it is automatic

IELTS test structure

The test has four compulsory modules. Total duration is 2 hours 44 minutes. Two formats are available: Paper-based and Computer-delivered.

Listening — 30–40 minutes. Understanding spoken English.
Reading — 60 minutes. 3 texts and 40 questions. Differs for Academic and General modules.
Writing — 60 minutes. Includes describing a graph/letter and writing an essay.
Speaking — 11–14 minutes. A live conversation with an examiner.

All parts except Speaking are usually taken on the same day. Speaking may be scheduled on the same day or within a week before/after the main date.

Academic or General — which module to choose

Academic Module — required for university admission and academic work.
General Training Module — required for immigration (Canada, Australia, the UK) and work abroad.

An IELTS certificate is valid for two years.

Pay for the exam on the chosen centre's website.
Bring your passport — the same one you used to register.
