IELTS test is taken within a time slot of almost 3 hours. The test is not taken as a whole rather it is broken down to four major modules including speaking, writing, listening and reading. The speaking modules are usually taken a week prior to the rest of the test. The other three modules are taken on the same day, one after the other. The duration of the writing and reading tests is 60 minutes, for listening it is half an hour and for speaking the test lasts only for 14 minutes.
Based on the individual results, an overall band is assessed. If you land somewhere between 6 (competent) to 9 (very good) bands, you are good to go.
