A Complete Overview of IELTS and Its Ever Increasing Popularity

As the education scenario takes a turn every day for the modern generation, one can see how the extent of migration has increased in the world. An Indian student is a graduate of an American university where as an Irish student is pursuing his higher studies in a reputed college of Canada. There are a number of factors which hold a prime importance when it comes to migration of an individual to another country and one among them is the mode of communication. To overcome this language barrier (which is wide spread on account of this highly diverse world), experts have settled on a common means of communicating which can be easily spoken, read, written and listened to. That one language which has been and will keep on serving as a tool to express us is none other than English.

English language, on the other hand, is not restricted to the English only. Different communities have their own version of English. This calls for a standardized version which everybody can easily acquainted with and that version comes in the form of IELTS. International English Language Testing System or the IELTS is a test which checks the proficiency of an individual in English language. It has been designed specifically for the non-native speakers of English with an intention to migrate and continue their studies or jobs in countries where English is the primary language of communication. Conducted every month, this test follows a particular pattern of testing an individual’s efficiency in the language. A blend of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking, it tests the candidate from all perspectives. Let’s throw some light on the pattern first.

Concluded in two days, the test consists of four sections which are namely – Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. The exam has further been divided into two categories based upon the purpose of migration. If a candidate is looking forward to continue his or her studies, IELTS conducts and IELTS Academic test for that, however, for the purpose of attaining a permanent residency in country or apply for a job there, the test conducted is IELTS General Training. In both the tests, the Listening and Speaking part remains same; however, Reading and Writing differ. Let’s understand each module separately:

Listening: It majorly checks a candidate’s ability to understand different ascents of English language. To do so, the examinee is required to listen to few recordings during the examination and answer questions based upon proper listening of that recording. The recordings are everyday conversations or lectures and generally involve two speakers. It lasts for 30 minutes and is divided into 4 sections with 40 questions being asked in total.

Speaking: Speaking continues for not more than 20-25 minutes. It can be described as a one on one conversation with the examiner. The first phase starts with a general introduction in which questions around an individual’s personal introduction like his job, hobbies, likes and dislikes is being asked. In the second phase, a situation is given and the candidate is required to speak on that situation for a time period of 1-2 minutes. The final phase consists of a series of questions in relation to the situation put forward in second phase. Whole conversation is recorded for a later analysis. During second phase, one gets a time to think for 1 minute and can also use a notepad to write few pointers. It is conducted within 7 days before or after the reading, listening and writing tests which are conducted on the same day.

Both these test patterns remain same for Academic as well as General Training IELTS.

Reading: A one hour test with 40 questions in total tests a candidate’s efficiency in reading a given passage, understanding it thoroughly and based upon that, answering the questions asked afterwards. In Academic IELTS, there are 3 sections which talk about different subjects and in General Training IELTS, there are 4-5 sections which are comparatively easier that the Academic test. Questions range from True-False, Multiple choice answers to fill in the blanks etc.

Writing: The final module, i.e. writing tests a candidate’s ability to think logically, precisely and put forward his or her points regarding a topic of discussion. There are two writing tasks which are to be completed in a time span of 1 hour. The second task which is to write an essay on a given topic remains same for both the test patterns whereas the first one is different. In Academic IELTS, one is required to write a report interpreting data given in the form of a graphical representation where as in General Training, a letter (formal, semi-formal or informal) is required to be written.

What Is The Perfect GRE Score For You and How You Can Achieve It?

One question that we are asked often is “what is a good score for GRE?” GRE scores range from 130–170 per section, and a maximum a person can score is 340. The average GRE score is observed to be 320, which combines both verbal and quant.

These scores decide which university can be picked by the student as every university has its set score guidelines. Now, determining what a good score is for you will take right amount of time and research. However, if you have already decided which university to target, you might go through with your GRE prep accordingly.

With your dream university and a set target, GRE preparation efforts would also be set. Now, with this in mind, let’s have a look at the most critical factors that make a good GRE score, and how you achieve the maximum score in the process.

GRE Score Range — Quantitative, Verbal and Combined

GRE scores range from 260 to 340. The table below shows the Quantitative, Verbal, and combined scores:

Though, both the categories are essential but comparing quant scores to that of verbal would be like comparing apples to oranges. So, we bring to you the breakdown of both the sections and bring a little more clarity.

GRE Scores — Section Wise

A perfect GRE score in each section is 170, and a combined score is 340.

You must remember that, depending on your program, your scores in each section may be weighted much more strongly for admissions. Students going for English Literature MAs do not have to worry so much about Quant percentile as much as potential Engineering students would.

GRE Percentiles — Unleashed

Briefly, a percentile is the percentage of the students who scored lower than you. This means, if you scored 75th percentile, you scored better than 75 out of every 100 GRE test-takers.

You cannot score higher than the 96th percentile in Quant. Only about 4% of students taking the exam get a perfect score in this section.

However, the same is not valid for Verbal, in verbal, only 1% of students get a perfect score.

In terms of percentiles, most students would consider scoring within the top 10% of all test-takers pretty good.

Understanding your GRE Scores

A lot of students appearing for GRE aim for the skies and think of their goals to be a perfect 340. However, they do not need such a high score to get into their dream university/college. It might be that their program only requires half the percentile. Therefore, it is imperative to have realistic expectations and prepare for that without getting intimidated about high scores.

We have discussed what a good GRE score is, now let us understand what a bad GRE score can be.

GRE Scores for Top Universities

The school that you are applying to has a lot to do with your target GRE score.

Students who chose Harvard as their preferred university and Economics as their preferred program estimated their verbal scores to be between 157–161 and quant scores to be between 162–166. But on the other hand, less competitive program at Harvard take students with verbal scores as low as 149 and quant scores as low as 150.

Understanding a Bad GRE Score?

A bad GRE score is one that eliminates you from the program that you want to attend. However, to put this in terms of scores, the bottom 10% of students taking the GRE, score below 141 in quant and 140 in verbal.

How to Improve Your GRE Scores

With all the above-specified factors in mind, there is a need to set your specific target score, or rather target scores for each section.

Speaking of which, GRE coaching is the definite step that can help you boost your scores to where you want them to be. Prep for the GRE with a target score in mind, and you will see an extreme leap in your score.

By reading through this post, you have already taken the first step to reaching your target score. Researching GRE scores ahead of time will help you determine the areas you need to focus on for your GRE prep.
