Do you know how to take an IELTS exam in Qatar?
The International English Language Testing System, more commonly known as IELTS, is a test that examines English proficiency around the globe. IELTS, accepted by over 6,000 organizations, is the most popular system and includes universities, immigration departments, corporates and many more. Living in Qatar, IELTS is the starting point for any migration plans you might have, or even for higher studies.
The British Council conducts the IELTS in Qatar and there are two versions of it - IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. You will need to determine which test is right for you before taking it. IELTS Academic is for test takers wishing to study at undergraduate or postgraduate levels, and for those seeking professional registration. IELTS General Training IELTS General Training is for test takers wishing to migrate to an English-speaking country (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK), and for those wishing to train or study at below degree level.
IELTS is designed to assess English language skills across a wide range of levels. There is no such thing as a pass or fail in IELTS. Results are reported as band scores on a scale from 1 (the lowest) to 9 (the highest).
There are four components of the test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
