TELTS is owned by three partners, the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, the British Council and IDP Education Pty Limited (through its subsidiary company, JELTS Australia Pty Lim- ited). Further information on IELTS can be found on the IELTS website (www.ielts.org). WHAT IS THE TEST FORMAT? The test components are taken in the following order: : Listening 4 sections, 40 items approximately 30 minutes Academic Reading General Training Reading 3 sections. 40 items 60 OR 3 sections, 40 items minutes 60 minutes ‘Academic Writing General Training Writing 2 tasks OR 2 tasks 60 minutes 60 minutes ‘Speaking 11 to 14 minutes Total Test Time 2 hours 44 minutesListening This test consists of four sections, each with ten questions. The first two sections are concerned with social needs. The first’ section is a conversation between two speakers and the second séction isa monologue. The final two sections are concerned. with situations telated to educational or training contexts. The third section is a conversation between up to four people and the fourth section is a monologue. A variety of question types is used, including: multiple choice, short-answer questions, sentence completion, notes/form/table/ summary/flow-chart completion, labelling a diagram/plan/map, classification, matching. Candidates hear the recording once only and answer:the questions as they listen. Ten minutes are allowed at the end for candidates to transfer their answers to the answer sheet. HOW IS IELTS SCORED? IELTS results are reported on a nine-band scale, In addition to the score for overall language ability, IELTS provides a score in the form of a profile for each of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking). These scores are also teported on a nine- band scale. All scores are recorded on the Test Report Form along with details of the candidate’s nationality, first language and date of birth, Each Overall Band Score corresponds to, a descriptive state- ment which gives a summary of the English language ability of a candidate classified at that level, The nine bands and their descrip- tive statements are &s follows: 9 Expert User = Has fully operational command of the language: appropriate, accurate and fluent with complete understanding. 8 Very Good User — Has fully operational command. of the language "with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropria- cies. Misunderstandings may occur in unfamiliar situations. Han- dles complex detailed argumentation well. . 7 Good User ~-Has operational command of the language, though with occasional inaccuracies, inappropriacies and mistinderstand- ings in some situations. Generally handles complex language well and understands detailed reasoning.6. Competent User — Has generally effective command of the lan- guage despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunder- standings. Can use and understand ‘fairly complex language, par- ticularly in familiar situations. 5 Modest User — Has partial command of the language, coping with overall meaning in most situations, though is likely to make many mistakes. Should be able to handle basic communication in own field. 4 Limited User — Basic competence is limited to familiar situations. Has frequent problems ‘in understanding and expression. Is not able to use complex language. . 3. Extremely Limited User ~ Conveys and uriderstands only general meaning in very familiar situations. Frequent breakdowns.in com- munication occur. _2. Intermittent User - No real communication is possible except for the most basic information using isolated wards or short formu- Jae in familiar situations and to meet immediate needs. Has great difficulty understanding spoken and written English. } Non User — Essentially has no ability to use the language beyond possibly a few isolated words. 0 Did not attempt the test - No assessable information provided. HOW SHOULD YOU INTERPRET YOUR SCORES? At the end of each Listening and Reading Answer key you will find a chart which will help you assess whether, on the basis of your Practice Test results, you are ready to take the IELTS test. In interpreting your score, there are a number of points you should bear in mind. Your performance in the real IELTS test will be re- ported in two ways: there will be a Band Score from 1 to 9 for each of the components and an Overall Band Score from | to 9, which is the average of your scores in the four components. However, in- stitutions considering your application are advised to look at both the Overall Band Score and the Bands for each component in or- det to determine whether you have the language skills needed for a particular course of study. For example, if your course has a lot of reading and writing, but no lectures, listening skills might be lessimportant and a score of 5 in Listening might be acceptable if the Overall Band Score was 7. However, for a course which has lots of lectures and spokéniinstructions; a score of 5 in Listening might be unacceptable eventhough ‘the Overall Band Score was 7. Oo Once you have marked your tests you should have ‘somevidea of whether your listening and reading skills are good enough for you to try'the LELTS test. If you did well enough in one.component but “not in-others, you will have to decide for yourself whether you are ‘ready to take the test. The Practice Tests have been checked to ensure that they are of ap- - proximately the same level of difficulty as the real IELTS test. How- ever, we cannot guarantee that your-score in the Practice Tests will be reflected in the real IELTS test. The Practice Tests can only give you an idea of your possible future performance and it is ultimately up to you to make decisions based on your score. Different institutions accept different IELTS scores for different types of courses. We have based our recommendations on the aver- age scores which the majority of institutions accept. The institution to which you are applying may, of course, require a higher or lower score than most other institutions.FORM COMPLETION Cambridge IELTS 15 TEST 1 Questions 1-10 Complete the form below.
