For most Master's programs in the US, Canada, and Australia, you’ll usually need an overall IELTS Academic score of 6.5 or higher, with some top programs or fields requiring a 7.0. Always check the exact IELTS requirements for each university and course you’re interested in, as they can vary. Since you haven’t taken IELTS yet, plan to prepare and book your test accordingly.
