Why should you study IELTS with ITS?
Free Placement test
If you decide to take an IELTS preparation course, you will need to attend a Mock Test at our centre in Central, so we can evaluate your proficiency level. The test will be marked in IELTS format and you will be given an indication of your level of proficiency, including a range which is indicative of your likely IELTS score for all four skills, so we can place you in an appropriate class which suits your proficiency level.
Free End-of-course Mock Test
ITS provides a Test Report Form giving a profile of ability to use English as assessed by the Test. A score in each of the four modules, and an overall score, are recorded as levels of ability, called IELTS Bands. Each Band corresponds to a generalised descriptive statement of a candidate's English at that level.
