In the IELTS  there is not a test for each level like the Cambridge exams, but here is a single exam in which you can get a score from 0 to 9 that corresponds to a different level of English. For example, a score of 5.5 corresponds to level B2 (First Certificate). Later we will see equivalences between the IELTS score and the Bmat score (คะแนน bmat which is the term in Thai).

The IELTS exam has the following structure:

  • Listening: 30 minutes
  • Reading: 60 minutes
  • Writing: 60 minutes
  • Speaking: 11 – 14 minutes

The IELTS certificate does not expire, but the most normal thing is that they require that certificate with a maximum of seniority, which is usually 2 years.
