IELTS testing materials are written by international teams of writers from different English-speaking countries, so the content reflects real-life situations. The Speaking part of the IELTS test is a face-to-face assessment with a person, rather than recording on a computer to give an individual more natural feeling. You will thus have conversations with an examiner who can effectively evaluate your language skills, without being distracted by other candidates or technical problems. IELTS is accepted by most of the English-speaking countries like the United States of America, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and many more for professional and citizenship purposes and, by over 3,000 academic institutions in the United States, and by various professional organizations across the world.

There is no minimum score required to pass the test. IELTS test results are scored from band 1 (Lowest) to band 9 (Fluent Speaker) and each organization has its own band requirement.
