IELTS Score 5.0~5.5 Tips
The 5.5 IELTS score is the minimum score required by educational institutions for students who want to go on a foundation (university preparation) course rather than a regular university course. It is possible to enter a foundation course when you achieve an average score of 5.0 to 5.5. However, note that students must pass English courses or submit IELTS band 6.0-6.5 to study in regular university programs in the U.K. or Australia after completing the foundation.
IELTS Score 7.0 or Higher
