The IELTS test (International English Language Testing System) is one of the most widely used English language tests worldwide, it is essential for students who want to study in America. American universities often require proof of your English language skills if you are not a native speaker. For this, the IELTS is an excellent alternative to other tests such as the TOEFL or the Duolingo English Test. These tests are an important part of the admission process for student-athletes who want to combine sports and study in America.
During the IELTS, you will be tested on four components: listening, reading, writing and speaking. For each section you will receive a score between 0 and 9, along with an overall score that represents the average of all the sections. The higher your score, the stronger your admission profile at American universities. Many universities have a minimum score, which is usually between 6.0 and 7.5, depending on the program and level. The higher you score on the IELTS test, the better your chances of being admitted to your desired university – and sometimes you may even qualify for a higher academic scholarship.
The IELTS is especially relevant if you are not a native English speaker and will be studying abroad, such as in the United States. The test is often accepted as an equivalent alternative to the TOEFL, making it an important admission test for those who want to sport and study at an American university.
