The International English Language Testing System or IELTS



 Above and lower photos from: https://www.ielts.org


As far as IELTS information is concerned, one website seems to have it all: 
the "Home of the IELTS Language Test," with  https://www.ielts.org  as 
its universal resource locator (URL).

   There are six menu columns near the title page. These are, from left to 
   right, the following:

[1] "What is IELTS,"
[2]  "About the  test,"
[3]  "Booking a test,"
[4]  "IELTS for organizations,"
[5]  "Teaching and research," and
[6]  "IELTS in the USA."



[1] WHAT IS IELTS  consists of  four (4) sub-menus or topics. They are readily accessible by clicking on each. 

Just the same, though, I include their respective  URLs for your ease of access--that is, if you would like to go direct to the pages without going through the  homepage protocol.

         This last (fast becoming my favorite), offers free downloads

         version--on each of the following:

         Guide for agents,
         Guide for institutions,

         Ensuring quality and fairness in international

[6] The last column, IELTS IN THE USA, features  three (3) interesting subject areas--with the last one becoming my third best information.

IELTS for test takers
https://www.ielts.org/usa/ielts-for-test-takers

IELTS for prospective test centers

Now, between my first and third best choices is my second--and I think  
you'll agree with me: the sample test questions, together with 
the IELTS Online Tutorial--which is FREE!


A Blessed Day, Everyone!
