ILETS or IELTS?

ielts not iletsThere is a common mistake in the way this acronym is being pronounced by many people in Saudi Arabia.

So what is the answer? Is the test ILETS? or is it IELTS?

Still can’t see the difference?

The first says I-L-E-T-S

The second: I-E-L-T-S

Well this should help you:

What do these letters mean?

Answer: International English Language Testing System

Tip: On the day of Speaking exam, whether in Jeddah or elsewhere, don’t tell your examiner that you chose to do the ILETS for this or that reason! He (or she) will immediately spot that you do not even know the name of your exam. So take note!
