通用篇
Q：IELTS是不是过线就可以？
A：是。过线之后，再往上提分，帮助有限。
Q：IELTS的豁免条件什么？
A：
澳洲：曾在澳洲、加拿大、新西兰、南非、爱尔兰、英国或美国具有连续5年以上的学习经历，可以不向移民局提供雅思成绩；若两年内在澳洲取得过Foundation Diploma、Senior Secondary Diploma或 Certificate IV证书课程，也可享受IELTS豁免。
英国：几乎不存在豁免情况；部分学校连英语母语国家的学生都要求递交IELTS成绩，如爱丁堡大学
Q：雅思真的比托福容易吗？
A：不是。雅思是越往高越难，7.0是一个分水岭。
美国篇
Q：美国大学现在都认可雅思成绩了吗？
A：不是。仍然有相当一部分是不认可IELTS成绩的。单就本科TOP100的学校而言就有：斯坦福大学、麻省理工学院、加州理工学院、乔治敦大学、维克森林大学、波士顿学院、里海大学、叶史瓦大学，八所学校。
Q：去美国是考雅思好还是托福好？
A：托福适用性更广。
英国篇
Q：是不是有部分IELTS考点不受英国认可？
A：是。自2015年4月5日起，英国内政部重新确认了受认可的IELTS考点，只有在这些IELTS考点考出来的IELTS成绩，方才受到100%的认可。其它考点考出来的IELTS成绩，其效力等同现在的TOEFL成绩：只可用来申请学位课程，不可用以申请Pre-sessional语言课程和预科课程。也就是说，在其它考点考出来的IELTS成绩，必须达到学校的语言要求才可以。
比如某英国学校的某项目，语言要求为IELTS7.0，如果带一个5-10周的Pre-sessional语言课程的话，就只要6.5就可以。但如果你的IELTS不是在受认证的考点考出来的，你想申这所学校的话，你的IELTS就必须达到7.0才可以，因为你没法凭你的IELTS成绩申Pre-sessional语言课程；但如果你的IELTS是在受认证的考点考出来的话，你就只需要达到6.5就可以，因为学校会自动给你安排一个5-10周的Pre-sessional语言课程。
