After a few years of blogger, I've finally succumbed to the WordPress world of blogging and have created a dedicated blog space at www.ieltsielts.com. If you subscribe to this feed through FeedBurner, you've got nothing to worry about as I will still be streaming my material through that account. For everyone else, please follow me at ieltsielts.com to see the latest IELTS related stuff I'm working on.
Thanks!

What is IELTS?
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is an exam that assesses the English abilities of those who wish to work or study in an English speaking country.
(The following is taken directly from ielts.org):
International RecognitionWhat appears on the test?IELTS is recognised for course admission by universities in many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, the UK and increasingly in Germany and wider Europe.
In the USA the IELTS Test is now recognised by more than 1000 institutions and new ones are constantly added to the list, of which you will always find the latest version here.
IELTS is also required as proof of your language abilities for immigration to Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
The test checks the applicant's strengths in the areas of speaking, reading, listening and writing and is separated into two test types - Academic and General.
What is the difference between the Academic IELTS Module and the General Training IELTS Module?
IELTS Academic Training is a course and test designed to prepare and assess those wishing to attend institutes of higher education in English speaking countries. The listening and speaking portions of the two tests are identical, but the reading and writing portions are not. The General Module test asks the candidate to complete two writing tasks. The first is a letter (minimum 150 words). The second is an essay (minimum 250 words). The Academic Module test, however, is different. For this test, the candidate must write one piece describing factual information that is presented to them (for example, a bar graph or list of statistics). Using this information, the candidate must accurately depict in words the information presented by the images (minimum 150 words). The second task is to write an essay on a given topic (minimum 250 words).
