IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language ability of people who want to study or work where English is the language of communication. British Council offers various opportunities for students and people interested to appear in IELTS exams to prepare for free online. A number of free online IELTS practice and preparation study materials and videos are available.
The first step in making sure you are ready to take IELTS is to prepare for it so you know what to expect on the test day.
British Council’s IELTS learning materials will get you acquainted with the test format and also improve your confidence when writing, speaking, reading, and listening in English.
Even if you believe you are a proficient user of English, we still recommend that you prepare thoroughly for your test with our helpful IELTS training resources.
