此外，雅思考試如今也廣泛應用於移民目的，許多國家要求母語非英語的簽證申請者提交雅思成績。
雅思考試分為四大項目：閱讀（Reading）、寫作（Writing）、聽力（Listening）與口說（Speaking），每項皆為獨立的測驗。通常學生需在四項能力中皆獲得良好分數，方可順利申請入學、求職或移民。因此，許多考生會多次報考，以獲得理想分數。
雅思寫作考試分為一般訓練（General）與學術類（Academic）兩種，《Collins Writing for IELTS》專注於學術類寫作測驗的訓練。

IELTS is also increasingly used for immigration purposes, with many countries requiring visa applicants whose first language is not English to submit an IELTS grade.
The system tests candidates' Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking in four separate papers. Usually, students must gain a good mark in all four skills in order to gain entry to the course, job, or country of their choice. For this reason, candidates will often sit the exam numerous times to secure the score that they need.
There are two IELTS Writing papers: General and Academic. Collins Writing for IELTS concentrates on the Academic paper.
