00:00:02,530 --> 00:00:03,460
‫Welcome back.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:11,680
‫He is our second video in the welcome section of this course, I'd quickly like to go over some of the

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,270
‫basic information about what the Eilts test is.

4
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:24,340
‫Some of you may have a better understanding than others, especially if you've already taken the test

5
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:24,900
‫before.

6
00:00:25,270 --> 00:00:31,870
‫However, I think it's important that we all get the same information to begin with.

7
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:36,020
‫So what is the AIDS test?

8
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:46,000
‫Here are some facts and figures for you and stands for International English Language Testing System,

9
00:00:46,510 --> 00:00:50,910
‫a testing system designed to be fair for everybody.

10
00:00:52,150 --> 00:01:01,480
‫It is most often used for access to university employment or also for immigration purposes, many people

11
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:08,830
‫use this possibly like yourself, for access to a university and more often than not, a score of at

12
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:12,400
‫least six or six point five is required.

13
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:23,080
‫The Eilts was established in 1989 and has millions of test takers across the globe every year.

14
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:33,050
‫Let's take a look at what the Eilts test is made up from, so there are four sections in the test.

15
00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:42,530
‫We have rating which is broken into two sections, both covered in this course, speaking, listening

16
00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:46,130
‫and reading inside L7.

17
00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:50,270
‫Plus, we have practice tests for listening and reading.

18
00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:57,170
‫The test takes around three to four hours in one day to complete.

19
00:01:58,340 --> 00:02:02,480
‫You were graded in band scores from zero to nine.

20
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,850
‫Zero is as if you haven't written or spoken anything.

21
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,620
‫And nine is the highest, almost a native level.

22
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:20,300
‫You receive your band score by post around 13 to 14 days after the test.

23
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:24,320
‫And there are two types of accounts.

24
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,610
‫We have general eyeholes and academic Eilts.

25
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:36,230
‫The differences aren't huge, but this course only covers the academic Eilts.

26
00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:41,840
‫That brings us to the end of this introductory lesson.

27
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:50,030
‫Next, I'll show you the structure of this course and quickly share with you some extra bonus learning

28
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:50,990
‫resources.
