I took the IELTS preparation class in british council.
then IELTS test in a hotel somewhere near british council and avenue k.
basically it was divided into four main section, I took the test few years ago..
Just sharing based on my old memory
1)listening
they will play certain conversation through speaker, and you have to write down base on what you heard. (something like fill in the blank)
bear in mind, its fast. if you miss it, dont stay stucked and panic, move on and focus on the audio.
2)reading
dont quite remember what they tested..... loll
but you can search online, there are plenty of guides!
3)writing
ummm write essay... just write.... loll
4)speaking
1v1 conversation, will be recorded, and they will ask you random questions.
mostly its just like chatting...
but to get good marks, its better to initiate, be brave and speaks things you are interested in life..
then you will get good score
I thought I made a lot mistakes, but still I scored 7.0 overall...
the test i think is around RM640+ if not mistaken... (few years back)
all the best..
Google ielts test sample, and gone through it, basically i think the test is pretty basic, it just need practice but what got me worried is Writing.
Been long time since i write 'academic' essay, need to gone through data and all, sure i can write a 'relax' kinda essay
Fees last checked was around rm8++

Hi Braindeath,
For working visa, I think you should take IELTS for General Training if not mistaken, anyhow please check with your employment agent as well.
MUET vs IELTS..hehe!
Totally different as IELTS is more to international level of English. There will be 4 components as MUET, Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The speaking will be 1 to 1 with the Examiner.
I just took IELTS on August 27 at IDP Subang Jaya. Their customer service and way of conducting the test was good. At the same time I am happy with the result i got. I have attended their workshop too!
thats why i said last "English" test i took was MUET, just wanna know how it is compare to MUET, in term of the english level they use
I stay in melaka, and i checked it will be in one of the shopping mall, i'll check when i get back
I don't use employment agency, i mean not yet, cause i just wanna prepare myself, get IELTS and visa afterwards, but i read i need a job offer to get the visa
