In fact, during the different sessions of the test, you can hear American, Australian or Canadian accents, just like you can hear British English.

Whichever module you choose, the test lasts for 2 hours and 45 minutes. They are divided between sessions, with 45 minutes for the listening session, 60 minutes for reading, another 60 minutes for writing the texts and 11 to 14 minutes for the conversation module. The conversation, however, may not be held on the same day as the other three sessions, depending on the availability of the evaluators where you are going to take the test.]]> 2023-05-25 19:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/correiavinicius/e4o6wl0qxsx3wovb/wish/2605256060 correiavinicius https://padlet.com/correiavinicius/e4o6wl0qxsx3wovb/wish/2605256975 IELTS is divided into four sessions to assess different types of skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.]]> 2023-05-25 19:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/correiavinicius/e4o6wl0qxsx3wovb/wish/2605256975 correiavinicius https://padlet.com/correiavinicius/e4o6wl0qxsx3wovb/wish/2605257559 The IELTS Comprehension session is divided into four parts, totaling 40 questions.

If your grade was 4 or 5, your level is B1;
If your grade was between 5.5 and 6.5, your level is B2, the advanced intermediate;
If your score was between 7 and 8.5, you have advanced knowledge and are at level C1;
If your IELTS score was 9, you have full fluency, and your level is C2.

However, those who learned English more informally and do not know much grammar may prefer other tests to prove their proficiency.]]> 2023-05-25 19:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/correiavinicius/e4o6wl0qxsx3wovb/wish/2605269587 correiavinicius https://padlet.com/correiavinicius/e4o6wl0qxsx3wovb/wish/2605270872 To register to take IELTS, you need to choose a date.
