Now let me briefly explain to you the four modules in IELTS.
They are listening, reading, writing and speaking.
First in the exam, you usually have the IELTS listening test. During the listening test, audio is played for 30 minutes, and a question booklet is given to you. As you listen to the audio, you should read the questions and simultaneously write the correct answers in the given question booklet. Audio will be played only once. There will be 40 questions, and if you can answer all the questions correctly, you will get a band 9. At the end of the listening test (in the Pen and Paper test), you are given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
Next, comes the IELTS Reading test. The Test has three passages Each passage will contain 10 -14 questions. Totally 40 questions are given, and you should answer them in 60 minutes.
After Reading, we have the IELTS Writing test. For the writing test, you are given two tasks. Task 1 will be report writing for IELTS Academic candidates/letter writing for IELTS General candidates, and task 2 will be essay writing. You have to write minimum 150 words in Task 1 and a minimum of 250 words in task 2. You will be given a time limit of 60 minutes for both tasks.
The IELTS Speaking test is conducted on a different day. The speaking test can be conducted within 7 days before/ after the main IELTS exam for listening, writing, reading. The duration is 11-14 minutes and tthe score is based on specific parameters. The maximum score for this is nine band, and during the examination, you will speak to the examiner; face to face
