I was searching for some basic topics of IELTS today then I reached on your page. And after reading full of IELTS I laughed a lot. Because, I don't even know the full form of IELTS before I started the IELTS training, after the first day of IELTS class when I reached home the first thing I searched on the internet is "what is full form of IELTS". It's funny but most of the students who are preparing for the IELTS test don't even know the full form of IELTS.
