Prior to enrolling in a dual Bachelor of Business (Accounting and Management) at Monash University in Australia, I was required to sit the IELTS test to obtain a student visa. I sat the test while living in Japan and received a band score of 8.5, satisfying visa requirements. There is no doubt that IELTS makes the world a bigger, more open place.
