I am a native speaker. Why do I need to take the IELTS test?

IELTS may be a requirement for entering your desired course in an educational institution. It is also used in many countries as a part of their migration assessment. If you are not sure as to why you might need to sit the IELTS test or about the score you need, contact the organisation you are applying to. They will be able to provide further information, including whether native speakers need to complete the IELTS test. Even if English is your primary language, you will still need to prepare for the test.

What band score do I need to study abroad?

The band score you need to study abroad is set by the institution to which you are applying and not by IELTS. The score needed to apply for a course may vary based on the institution or programme you want to apply for. If you are not sure which band score you need to apply for your desired course, check out our Who accepts IELTS page or double-check with the institution you wish to apply to.

What band score do I need to migrate abroad?

The band score you need to migrate to a particular country varies. Check our Who accepts IELTS page to check which band score you need.
