nations.

IELTS consists of four main sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and
Speaking. The test is available in two versions:
- Academic IELTS: For students applying for higher education and
professional registration.
- General Training IELTS: For those seeking work experience or
immigration purposes.

- Duration: 30 minutes, plus an additional 10 minutes to transfer
answers to the answer sheet.
- Parts: 4 parts, with each part increasing in difficulty.
