There is no age bar for IELTS. There are some test centres in India where you can give the IELTS exam. Since you are planning to pursue higher studies in Australia, you should go for IELTS academic. If you don't know English pretty well, it would be hard for you to clear IELTS. If that is the case then you may take some coaching classes which prepare for IELTS and TOEFL. Also you should give a lot of practice tests available in the internet so that you can get an idea of the actual exam pattern.

Hi Vaibhav,

SAT scores are used for admission to an undergraduate program abroad. An IELTS score, on the other hand, checks your English language proficiency as the course you would be joining would be taught in English. 

So, yes, it is necessary to score well in IELTS after scoring well in SAT.

Please read English Language Proficiency Score for Engineering programmes to know more.

All the best!

Hi

The IELTS result can be withheld for the following reasons:

• Random quality checks
• An unusual exam result
• They suspect malpractice

First, just relax and be patient. Usually, it is nothing to worry about.  Most likely, your results were only withheld for a random quality check or an unusual result and will be released to you within a few weeks.

However, if they do suspect malpractice, then you may have to provide a statement and additional information to a review panel. After carefully considering the case, they may release the result unchanged or they might permanently withhold the result. Unfortunately, though, these investigations can take up to 12 weeks from the test date.

Regards

hello shiva......

the major difference between ielts academic and ielts general is that

the ielts academic is for people applying for higher education in an english speaking environment.

whereas the ielts general is for those who are going to english speaking countries for secondary education or training programs.

i hope this information is helpful

all the best.

Greetings, most of the universities regardless of your course require minimum of 6.5 band in average from this examination. It is safe to keep a goal of 7.5-8 band and work for it. If your 10th and 12th English scores are 70% and more you can have an advantage of not giving IELTS exam. It is recommended for every aspirant to consult a counselor before applying for their admissions. All the best!

• Individuals interested in studying or seeking work opportunities abroad can apply
• IELTS scores are accepted in majority of English speaking countries
