IELTS- The International English Language Testing System is an international standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. It is mainly used as a benchmark to test the language skills of people who want to migrate to an English-speaking land for various purposes like academics or professional assignments. IELTS is recognized by most of the academic institutions and professional organizations in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States.
IELTS Exam is of two kinds. IELTS Academic for students who wish to migrate for further studies and IELTS General Training for professionals and others who wish to migrate for any general purpose.
Both kinds of IELTS consist of four modules – Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. In each of these modules, one can receive a score of 1-9 based on performance. The final score is an average of these four scores.
To score well on IELTS, you require a firm grip on English language proficiency at all levels. This requires consistent preparation.
You need to join a coaching or not also depends on what is your current level. If by a mock test or your last attempt, you fall in a band of 8, you might not need formal coaching, however, below that, a good coaching is definitely recommended.
You might wonder why would anyone require coaching for just an English exam. Well! IELTS is no piece of cake, given the major factor is its structure.
You need to be very well-versed with the structure of the exam. Understanding it completely, all the sections, what is asked, and more importantly, what you are supposed to answer.
To have a focussed approach towards IELTS, an expert and proficient coach is absolutely necessary. There are trainers for IELTS who are certified by the IELTS co-owners: British council or IDP Australia. They are trained in various aspects and structures of the exam like scoring pattern, band score calculation, evaluation pattern, how to study, what to study, and the strategies to optimize your learning towards a high score.
A coach gives constant feedbacks, points out the areas of improvement for the candidate, and guides them constantly on their preparation. Preparation without a coach is almost like a boat without a rudder: you have no direction or propulsion, just go with the flow in anticipation of reaching the shore. However, this is not what we require here.
It is very important to have constant learning as well as mock sessions along with constant guidance. This can be achieved only by joining a coaching center offline or joining some online preparation platform.
To conclude, a proper guidance via an expert trainer is absolutely necessary to score high in IELTS.
