Students presented an original copy of their IELTS Test (Academic module) results obtained after 1 July 2007 (when half band scores were introduced for Speaking and Writing) and before 26 May 2009. These results are referred to in this report as Test 1 scores. The students undertook a second IELTS Test for the study on 10 July 2010. For most of the students, this was immediately preceding the final semester of their undergraduate program. For a few, it was at the end of their final semester. The results of this test are referred to in this report as Test.
