Which IELTS test to practice
For registration as a nurse in New Zealand, practice IELTS Academic. The Nursing Council of New Zealand does not accept a fully online test. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook passages, and Writing Task 1 describes a chart, table or diagram. Listening and Speaking are the same in both modules.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| English language test pathway, Nursing Council of New Zealand | No band set | Listening 7, Reading 7, Speaking 7, Writing 6.5 |
Scores may be combined across sittings within 12 months, and every sitting must fall within three years of your application. The test is one route; education-based and registration-based pathways also exist.
Before you book the real test
The Council can change these bands, so check them before you book: English Language Competence Policy Guidance.
