I did my IELTS on 24th September 2022 at Royal Thimphu Collage, organized by Institute of Management Studies Limited (IMSL). My Speaking test was, a day later (25th Sept) at IMSL campus. It was an Academic Module since I am planning to pursue Master of Business Administration in United Kingdom or Australia.
The test comprised of four sections namely 1) Listening, 2) Reading, 3) Writing and 4) Speaking. Overall, I obtained a band score of 7, placing me in the C1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The full band score are 9 for all the categories. Most international universities prefer band score 6 and above. The test result is usually sent to you within a week or two. The certificate is valid for only two years.

The core objective of the test is to check your English proficiency as to prove that you have no problem in surviving in English speaking countries. Therefore, the test is not of a big deal. The questions are all related to daily experience and encounters. Ask can be as simple as “If you like wearing watches? Or “Who is your role model?”
