Which IELTS test to practice
For registration with the General Dental Council (GDC) as a dental care professional, practice IELTS Academic. Table 1 of the GDC guidance lists dental nurses, dental therapists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, clinical dental technicians and orthodontic therapists as separate groups, and sets each of them the same figures. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook passages, and Writing Task 1 describes a chart or diagram.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| GDC registration in any of the six dental care professional groups, IELTS Academic | 7, as an overall average | Listening 6.5, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 6.5 |
Those are the same figures the GDC sets for dentists.
Before you book the real test
The GDC can change the figures in Table 1. Check your own row before you book: Evidence of English language competence: Guidance for applicants.
