ELTS for university admission

The IELTS test is the most widely accepted examination for English language ability by universities.
100 per cent of universities in the UK and Australia accept the IELTS test. In the USA, there are over
3,500 institutions that use IELTS as part of the entry criteria for admission. The IELTS test is
frequently used as the benchmark or equivalency for other English language test scores.
 

One of the reasons universities continue to recognise the IELTS test as the exemplar of English
language exams is the integrity and security of the test itself. The test protocols used include
standardised marking, scoring, timed conditions, biometric verification, test day security, and post-
examination result scrutiny. This regime ensures the integrity of the result for universities.

Another bonus is that the test is evaluated by migration and law enforcement agencies, higher
education institutions, and government immigration services. This ensures both test quality and
compliance. This feedback and assessment loop increases the authority of the test and the requisite
standard across the globe.
