One of two?: new section
Line 142:
 
The lead section is understandable, but it is too long. It should be just the key point of this article, for instance, what is the IELTS exam and who established it. However, the editor seems giving a full background information about this test. It will be better if they could move most of the paragraphs to a subsequent section. Another problem is that the topics are not balanced well. Under the section of ‘IELTS level required by academic institutions for admission’, they list 14 countries and give the information of IELTS requirements of the institutions in these countries. It does not appear to be necessary to list all these countries, different institutions in different countries will have different requirements. Moreover, this list is not really comprehensive which will give the reader a misunderstanding that only the institution in these countries require a IELTS score. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Imoe 5|Imoe 5]] ([[User talk:Imoe 5|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Imoe 5|contribs]]) 23:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

The article says iETLS is one of two major tests.... On what basis? If it is based on number of takers (the only objective basis that comes readily to mind), then it seems to be in error. ETS, the makers of the other test mentioned (TOEFL), makes TOEIC, which ETS says:

the TOEIC test and more than 5 million people take the test every year. ... in education for all people worldwide.
