Our course covers both Academic and General Training formats, with practice questions for all four sections: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is jointly managed by British Council, IDP, and Cambridge Assessment English. It is accepted by 11,000+ organisations in 140+ countries as proof of English language proficiency for study, work, and migration purposes.
Academic IELTS is for undergraduate and postgraduate university study. General Training is for secondary education, work experience, and migration — including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and UK visa routes. PassNova covers both pathways in full.
UK universities typically require Band 6.5–7.5 depending on the course and institution. The UK Skilled Worker visa (English language route) typically requires Band 4–5.5. Australian Permanent Residence typically requires Band 6–7. Always check the specific requirement of your institution or visa category.
Each of the four skills — Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking — is scored on a scale of 1–9, including half bands (e.g. 6.5, 7.0). Your overall band score is the average of all four skills, rounded to the nearest 0.5.
Yes. Computer-delivered IELTS is available at most test centres worldwide. The Speaking test remains face-to-face with an examiner regardless of format. Results for computer-based IELTS are delivered within 3–5 days, compared to 13 days for the paper-based test.
You can retake IELTS as many times as needed — there is no limit on attempts. Your best score is valid for 2 years from the test date. Many candidates retake to improve a specific skill that is holding their overall band back.
Preparation time depends on your current English level. Going from Band 5.5 to 7.0 typically takes 3–6 months of focused preparation. Consistent practice across all four skills — rather than focusing on just one — is the most effective approach to improving your overall band score.
