IELTS


You know what is IELTS? It's short for International English Language Test System. An international English test for people who would take if they want to migrate to countries like UK and Australia, or for academic study.

Usually for undergraduate studies, you will need to score at least a 6 out of 9, i think, for post graduate is 6.5. The test comprises of listening, reading, writing and speaking, if you think it's easy, think again. I have got a friend who used to studied in UK, he scored a 5.5 average, well, still good enough for him to migrate to Australia. He's a DBA, and this skillset is in high demand in Oz land.

I'm going for the test too, need to score at least 6.5 for my MSc program by June. I think this is going to be tough, most probably an uphill task.
