You may be a little nervous about the day of your IELTS English level test. To make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible, we have put together some information to help you know what to expect on test day. We also invite you to learn about our biosafety protocols that we have in place to ensure your peace of mind on the day of your IELTS test.
You should arrive on time for your IELTS English test session. You will receive an email at least three days before the English test so you will know what time it will start. The email will provide you with information about the procedures and times on the day of the English test. If you arrive late, you may not be able to take the test and will need to re-register and pay for the test.
If you have requested special arrangements for your IELTS English test as a result of incapacity or illness, arrangements will be made so that you can take your test on the agreed test day. Please contact our staff at the test venue six weeks in advance.
Some of our IELTS test centers are now delivering the IELTS Speaking test via video call. This means greater flexibility in the delivery of IELTS Speaking tests, along with greater availability.
You will take the Speaking test by video call at an official IELTS test center with the same high standard of identity verification. The test will be exactly the same as the in-person speaking test in terms of content, scoring, timing, question format and security arrangements.
Taught by an IELTS Speaking Examiner, the Video Call Speaking test will maintain the face-to-face features of the in-person speaking test.
For more information, contact your local test center.
Make sure you are prepared and have something to eat and drink before your IELTS English test.
