IELTS score of 7 is generally the IELTS requirement for students in top universities in the UK. For example, Cambridge University requires students to score 7 points in IELTS, with 7 points in each item. If students can get an IELTS score of 7, it is feasible to apply to the top 15 universities in Britain under other normal conditions, for example, the average score cannot be lower than 78, and the best graduation school is 2 1 1. If the average score is 83 to 85, the chances of applying for a prestigious British school are very high.

Now the business majors of St Andrews University, Aston University, Bath University and other schools have raised the IELTS score requirement from 6.5 in the past to 7. Schools that previously required IELTS score of 7, if students score 6.5, can go to the UK five weeks in advance to make up for the gap of 0.5. Now schools generally extend language courses to 10 weeks. In addition, many schools not only have requirements for students' total IELTS scores, but also make provisions for writing, speaking and other items in IELTS tests.
