There are several versions of the IELTS exam. Candidates must prepare for IELTS while keeping the syllabus and exam format in mind. The IELTS syllabus includes four mandatory sections: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The IELTS syllabus’s listening and reading components will stay the same for both IELTS General Training and IELTS Academic.

Writing
- Task 1 – The exam taker has 60 minutes to do both tasks. One activity lasts 20 minutes and the other lasts 40 minutes. In Task 1 of the IELTS Academic Module, a candidate must write a summary of a table/graph/process in at least 150 words. In Task 1 of the IELTS General Training Module, a candidate must compose a letter of at least 150 words.
- Task 2 – Task 2 is the same for both Academic and General Training Modules and consists of a 250-word essay. In response to an argument, problem, or point of view, candidates will be required to submit an essay. Make sure you respond to both duties in a formal manner.
Listening
Candidates in this segment listen to four recordings of fluent English speakers and then compose their own responses to a set of questions.
- Recording 1 consists of a chat between two persons in any normal social setting.
- Recording 2 is a monologue set in a social setting.
- Recording 3 consists of a dialogue between up to four participants in an educational or training setting.
- Recording 4 – a monologue on any academic topic
Reading
The Reading part has 40 questions designed to assess the test taker’s reading skills across a wide range. Understanding the logical argument, reading for major concepts, and reading for details are examples of these. Three lengthy writings range from factual and descriptive to argumentative and analytical in nature.
Some tips for writing exam
Even native speakers make mistakes in the areas of grammar, punctuation, and spelling, thus one needs to prepare thoroughly if they want to perform well on the writing exam. While taking the Writing test, candidates should bear the following steps in mind:
- Improve your grammar.
- have a clear, logical structure
- lessen your spelling errors
- Be consistent with the concepts you are outlining.
