IELTS Test
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular high stakes English-language test for study, work and migration, with more than 2 million tests taken in the last year.
IELTS assesses all of your English skills — reading, writing, listening and speaking — and is designed to reflect real life use of English — at study, at work, and at play.
IELTS is the most widely accepted English language test that uses a one-on-one speaking test to assess your English communication skills. This means that you are assessed by having a real-life conversation with a real person. This is the most effective and natural way of testing your English conversation skills.
IELTS at a test center
If you take IELTS at a test center, you can request to send your IELTS results to a maximum of five organisations free of charge. You can request for your test centre to send your results to your chosen organisations.
IELTS Online
If you take IELTS Online, you can send your IELTS results to as many organisations as you wish, with no additional fee. IELTS Online results are provided in an electronic format.
The GRE® General Test
The GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) is a standardized test taken by students who are applying to graduate courses or programs. The GRE test features question types that closely reflect the kind of thinking you'll do in graduate or business school.
- Verbal Reasoning — Measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts.
- Quantitative Reasoning — Measures problem-solving ability, focusing on basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.
- Analytical Writing — Measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, specifically your ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly and effectively.
The at home version of the GRE test is a permanent offering and students around the world can take advantage of it. The at home test is identical to a test taken at a test center and taken on your own computer at home or another secure location.
Beginning September 22, 2023, the GRE testing time will be reduced by half, from nearly four hours to just under two, and the official score turnaround time will reduce from 10-15 days to 8-10 days. The scores and the way you send them to us remain unchanged.
