IELTS consists of 4 parts: Reading , Writing, Listening and Speaking. Apart from Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking are same for General and Academic IELTS. In reading, passages for Academic Ielts is of higher difficulty as compared to General Ielts. Both last for one hour, contain 3 passages and 40 questions, and are scored in the same way. In both cases, you must answer the questions and transfer your answers to the answer sheet all in one hour. Academic Ielts is for students going to abroad for higher studies and General Ielts is for people going abroad for PR. Reading, writing and listening are taken on same day. Speaking can be taken on either same day or a day before or a day after listening, reading and writing. A special table converts the scores out of 40 into a band score on the IELTS band scale. You may receive a whole band or a half band. Your overall score is the average of the band scores you receive in the four categories. This final score itself may be represented as a whole band or a half band.
The Listening test is divided into four sections with 10 questions in each part (a total of 40 questions). This category lasts about 30 minutes. You get an extra 10 minutes at the end to transfer your answers to the answer sheet. Writing task is divided into 2 parts: Writing Task 1 and Writing Task 2. Scoring is based on criterias like content, Quality, grammar, vocabulary and variation and linking of sentences. In writing task 1, you have to write a letter in approx. 150 words in formal, semi-formal or informal fashion in General IELTS ; while in Academic IELTS you have to write approx. 150 words describing a given diagram, pie chart, line graph or table. In writing task 2, you have to write approx. 250 words in essay possibly in informal style; while in Academic IELTS you have to write essay on general academic topic in approx. 250 words in formal style.

Now, let me explain our quite unique teaching method. We, at Prolific Overseas Education Consultant, believe in smart work along with some hard work because hard work alone is not sufficient and not good enough to get great results in Ielts. Moreover, at Prolific, we strive for best results. We conduct classes 6 days a week with 6th day reserved for Mock tests and grammar sessions held alternatively every week. We have allotted separate days each for reading, listening, speaking, writing task1 and writing task 2 , so that students can understand each part very easily and don’t get confused between these parts. So, in this way, we can teach them one part at a time very easily. We also provide them different books for reading, writing, listening speaking and grammar. We have faculties who are fully qualified, experienced and dedicated to give proper training and guidance to the students. They are always on toes to clear maximum doubts of all students We also provide certain tricks and methods to students on time management, usage of proper vocabulary, correct formation of sentences, usage of proper grammar, to the point content for all the four parts of IELTS. We also give them proper guidance on rules and regulations of IELTS and certain etiquettes required in answering questions for all the four parts.
For proper management of all students, their convenience, and to ensure that there are limited students in one class, we conduct four different classes in one day. Two batches in the morning : 8.30 to 10 am is first batch and 10 to 11.30 am is the second one. There are two batches in evening as well, one is 4 to 5.30 pm and next one is 5.30 to 7 pm. So, like this we ensure that there are only limited students in one batch and quality of our training is not compromised.
We even explain them about do’s and don’ts of IELTS like what to do and what not to do during IELTS. We guide them about the etiquettes required during speaking part. Whenever we take their mock tests, we ensure that it is up to IELTS standard and students get real feel about the actual exam. Scoring is also done in accordance with IELTS. During grammar sessions, we give them proper guidance about Tenses, Active n Passive voice, types of sentences, proper and meaningful formation of sentences, conjugation etc…. We always try to correct them whenever they are going in wrong direction. We always try to create a very comfortable environment during class so that students can ask and clear their doubts without any hesitation.
