The IELTS test consists of four parts:

Listening; 40 minutes (including 10 minutes to write the answer as soon as possible). Candidates listen to four recordings, and the difficulty increases with the progress of the exam. These recordings include monologues and dialogues. Candidates will hear different English accents and dialects. The recording can only be heard once, but it will leave some time for the candidates to read the questions and record the answers.

Academic reading: 60 minutes. Candidates will read three articles and answer questions after the articles. Articles are selected from books, magazines, periodicals and newspapers, and readers do not need professional knowledge. At least one article contains detailed arguments.

Training reading: 60 minutes. The test articles are based on daily life materials in English-speaking countries. The test articles will be extracted from newspapers, advertisements, pamphlets and books to examine candidates' ability to understand and use information. The test questions include a long descriptive rather than explanatory article.

Academic writing: 60 minutes. The first part requires candidates to write an article of about 150 words according to a given table or chart to test their ability to describe and analyze data. The second part requires candidates to write a short essay of about 250 words on a certain question or viewpoint. Candidates are required to use appropriate tone and register (including vocabulary, grammar, etc. ) to discuss the problem and demonstrate.
