What is IELTS?

IELTS is a standardized English language test, used to assess a candidate’s ability to Read, Write, Listen, and Speak English language. It is an eligibility test for admissions to Universities as well as for immigration purposes. A high score is a requirement for Immigration to Canada, Australia and other parts of the world.

The test consists of four parts. Each section is awarded a score ranging from 1 to 9. Although requirements vary, most applicants aspire to get a score over band 7 in each module. We at Brighterprep have designed a unique style of teaching keeping in mind these very requirements. Our course aims at improving test strategies as opposed to mere language improvement. It cannot be denied that overall command over the language is essential; however, mere knowledge is not always enough. It is imperative that the candidate be familiar with the test structure and the right method to approach it.

Test format

The test is divided into 4 sections. The order of the test is as follows: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The listening section is divided into 4 parts and requires you to answer questions as the audio is played. The duration of this section is 32-40 minutes. The reading section is divided into 3 sections with increasing levels of difficulty. The test duration is 60 minutes. This is followed by the writing section which consists of 2 tasks to be completed in 60 minutes. Finally is the speaking section, where you interact with an examiner for approximately 15 minutes.

Brighterprep method

We conduct a free IELTS Diagnostic test to establish the baseline score. Once this stage is complete, the student attends 2 sessions every week for each module. After the completion of a module, a few practice tests are taken. Upon completion of the entire course, we conduct mock tests to track the progress. Once the student is able to attain a high score consistently, we encourage them to sit for the official test. If the student’s score do not show the desired improvement, we often encourage them to re-sit through the sessions in order to brush up on the skills.

At Brighterprep, we understand that not all students prefer to learn in groups, and hence we also offer private 1-1 sessions. The lesson plans as well as schedule can be customized based on student requirements.

We offer multiple batches across our centers. For any specific requirement please contact your nearest branch or you can request for a call back.
