Test Preparation & Special Purpose Programs

Exam Preparation

IELTS Test Preparation

In all EAP classes, teachers work on developing academic style and ability towards success on standardized tests such as the IELTS, and they often incorporate questions and materials from these tests in their classes. However, in this class, students learn the actual format and layout of the IELTS test, and work progressively through previous exams with help, advice, and feedback from the teacher. After each practice exam, the teacher scores the results, and the student can see their progress. By the end of the course, all students should be capable of a score of 6.0 or higher on the IELTS, with many students scoring 7.0.
