MODULES OF IELTS

There are four distinct parts of the IELTS exam. The total test time is 2 hours and 45 minutes. Three of the sections (Listening, Reading, and Writing) are completed in one sitting. The final section, Speaking, may be completed on the same day or up to seven days before or after the other sections. All test takers take the same Listening and Speaking tests. The Reading and Writing sections differ depending on whether the test taker is taking the Academic or General IELTS exam. Let’s look at the four modules in more detail.

Listening

The Listening module has four sections with ten questions in each. Sections 1 and 2 are typical social situations. Sections 3 and 4 are education and training situations (such as a discussion between two university students). During this section, test takers listen to a recording and then must answer questions based on what they’ve heard.

Reading

The Reading module has three sections. Test takers will read three texts, which may come from books, journals, magazines, newspapers, or other forms of media. After reading the text, test takers must answer multiple-choice and short answer questions.

Writing

The Writing module is comprised of two tasks. For the first task, test takers must write at least 150 words in 20 minutes. For the second task, test takers must write at least 250 words in 40 minutes. The tasks and topics vary depending on whether the test taker is taking the Academic or General Training Exam.

Speaking

The Speaking module is a face-to-face interview during which the test taker sits with an examiner and has a conversation. The module has three different sections:

  • Introduction
  • Long Turn
