Which IELTS test to practice
All applicants whose first language is not English must prove their English, and IELTS is one of the accepted tests, though first-year applicants who completed all four years of secondary school at a high school that teaches mainly in English and follows a British or American curriculum may get a waiver. UMass Amherst asks for the academic test, so practice IELTS Academic. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate first-year applicants | 6.5 | No skill below 6.0 |
| Undergraduate transfer applicants | 6.5 | No skill below 6.5 |
Before you book the real test
Your score must be no older than two years when you apply, and UMass Amherst does not accept IELTS Indicator results or paper IELTS test report forms, as its English Language Proficiency page explains.
