Which IELTS test to practice
For a nursing degree abroad, practice IELTS Academic. It is the IELTS test for study at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and for professional registration, for example as a nurse. Listening and Speaking are the same in IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training; only Reading and Writing differ.
The score to aim for
Each university sets its own IELTS entry score. In Australia, registered nurse degrees ask for the minimum test results that the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) sets for registration, unless you declare that English is your primary language. For IELTS Academic, that is 7 overall, with at least 7 in Listening, Reading and Speaking and 6.5 in Writing.
Registering as a nurse after the degree is a separate step. Each registration body decides the IELTS band score and test type it requires.
Before you book the real test
IELTS Online, taken at home, is only IELTS Academic and only for test takers aged 18 and above. It is not accepted for professional registration or immigration. For a visa, take the test at a test center. IELTS recommends that results count as valid for two years after the test; organizations can choose to accept older results.
