Many of you will be required to take an IELTS test. IELTS is International English Language Testing System.
You do not pass or fail IELTS, rather you receive a band score which indicates your level English language competence.
Universities usually require a band 6 or band 6.5.
IELTS consists of: Speaking; Listening; Reading; Writing.
Speaking involves talking to an examiner for around 15 minutes. It is not a conversation because the examiner is reading from a script. Speaking is divided into 3 parts: i) general topics ii) you speaking for 2 minutes on a subject iii) a more complex discussion. You cannot choose your questions.
Listening involves listening to a tape and answering 40 questions. You only hear the tape once.
Writing involves writing 2 essays in 1 hour. The first is a summary of a graph, graphs, a chart or charts. You must write at least 150 words (20 mins). The second is a GP type essay of at least 250 words (40 mins). You are given no choice of topic.
Reading is 1 hour and involves 3 texts and 40 questions.
The only place to take IELTS in Brunei is at CFBT in Kiarong. They usually run 2 tests per month so it is worth booking up in advance as there is usually a waiting list.
Call them at 2451905.
CFBT also run classes but there should be no need for you to enroll. Simply acquaint yourself with the test and the types of questions you will have to answer. There are many excellent websites and I have linked a number of them on the left. The 5 star ones are recommended.

The IELTS examination is certainly challenging and most of the highly reputable universities will require a minimum of 7.0 in the IELTS test. Having said that, you can of course still apply if you don't achieve the required IELTS score as long as you can demonstrate academic excellence and say, work experience in an English speaking company.
I’ve been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful worth sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you did, the net will be a lot more helpful than ever before.
