Select the correct answer.

You are invited to take a seat in an exam room. Which place should you take?

One closest to the CD player: the closer you are the better are your chances at Listening part.

One further away from the invigilator. It will improve your chances of not being expelled from the exam.

One closer to a smart student to look what she writes and ask a question or two.

One with your Candidate Number on it.

You must take the seat with your Candidate Number on it. If you don't hear recording loud and clear during the Listening part, you need to inform the invigilator raising your hand. You will not be removed from the exam without a reason such as cheating or talking during the exam.

IELTS

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the world's most widely accepted English-language proficiency test for non-native speakers. It scores you on a 0–9 band scale across four sections — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — with a band score for each and an overall average.

Universities, employers, and immigration authorities in the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand use IELTS bands to set their language requirements (typically 6.0–7.5 for university; 5.0–6.5 for skilled migration). Knowing the test format is half the battle — most candidates lose points to format unfamiliarity, not language ability.
