International English Language Testing System
it’s an English test taken so you could show your capability in the English language.
there is 2 formats:
ACADEMIC and GENERAL
ACADEMIC form is mainly for students trying to study abroad in an English language country
GENERAL is for ordinarily people which try to immigrate to English language speaking country.
it has a score ranging from 0 to 9 with 9 been the best and 0 given when the you are absent at the test day.
it’s score is in full or half I mean 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, ……. 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9
it has 4 sections: listening, reading, writing and speaking. in the first 2 you could get half scores but in the last 2 you only get full scores.
the overall score is the average of the 4 marks you get and is rounded to the bigger half or full.
