3) Writing (2 Tasks, 60 Minutes)

4) Speaking (Interview for 10 to 15 Minutes) 

IELTS results are reported on a nine-band scale. In addition to the score for overall language ability, IELTS provides a score, in the form of a profile, for each of the four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. These scores are also reported on a nine-band scale. All scores are recorded on the Test Report Form along with details of the candidate's nationality, first language and date of birth. Each overall band score corresponds to a descriptive statement which gives a summary of the English language ability of a candidate classified at this level.
