If you are planning to get admission in a University for higher education or scholarship, or you are invited by an institution to join a technical programme, then IELTS ACADEMIC module becomes mandatory.
Academic IELTS has always remained an essential prerequisite by Medical Colleges and hospitals to enrol students or hire professionals. Research has shown that those who have been calibrated through IELTS for better communicative skills have performed better in their respective disciplines.
"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."
We provide Test materials for IELTS exam from reliable sources to increase your IELTS scores.
IELTS Books that we use are recommended by ielts.org, IDP, and British Council. Past papers of IELTS tests, usually published by the Cambridge University Press, for General and Academic Modules are the ideal sources for IELTS self-practice.

When we say 'INSURED', it doesn't mean using any shortcut in the process; instead, it refers to undergoing a well-planned, structured program, under special supervision with uniquely developed resources that would lead to success. This is possible due to the IELTS Counsellor’s approach developed by our dedicated teachers.

The Test Report Form, content, timing and structure of the test is the same whether you take the test on paper or on computer and the Speaking test is always face-to-face with a certified IELTS Examiner. If you choose to take computer-delivered IELTS, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing test using a computer. All aspects of the test are identical to paper-based IELTS, including:
-
Question types
-
Content
-
Timings*
-
Marking
*In the computer-delivered Listening test, the timings are slightly different from the paper-based test. This is because the paper-based test requires users to transfer answers to an answer sheet. This step becomes redundant when answering directly on a computer.
-
Before the start of each part of the Listening test you will have some time to read the questions.
-
After the end of each part of the Listening test you will have some time to review your answers.
-
At the end of the Listening test, you will have 2 minutes to check your answers.
Paper-based IELTS
