Which IELTS test to practice
For a New Zealand student visa, practice IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training, whichever your education provider accepts. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) calls English test evidence “not mandatory but can help us assess your genuine intention to study”. The band you have to reach comes from your provider’s course prerequisite. Listening and Speaking are the same in both modules; only Reading and Writing change.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band |
|---|---|
| Student visa eligibility, Immigration New Zealand | Not mandatory |
| Course entry, set by your education provider | Set by your provider |
| Part-time work rights while studying, guide INZ 1013 | 5.0 |
That 5.0 decides whether you may work alongside your course. It is not a condition of the visa.
Before you book the real test
INZ can change what a student visa asks for, and providers change course prerequisites. Check both before you book: Fee Paying Student Visa on the INZ site.
