If you are applying for a UK visa, you need to take an IELTS test approved for UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) purposes known as IELTS for UKVI. This applies to everyone coming from a non-English speaking country.
While there is no change in the content, format or level of difficulty and scoring, IELTS for UKVI simply follows certain extra security protocols to ensure the authenticity of the test taker. Also, your Test Report Form (TRF) may look slightly different from the one given for IELTS Academic or General Training.
You can apply for cancellation only if the test date is at least 15 days from the date on which you are applying for cancellation.
If the test date is between 15-34 days, cancellation will be done once the request is approved. After cancellation is done/approved, refund will be processed within 8-10 business days after deducting administrative charges.
No, you will have to go to a test centre irrespective of whether you want to give a paper based or computer based test. IDP offers 82 test locations across India.
Practice is the key to getting a good score in your IELTS exam. We recommend understanding the exam format properly once and then giving a mock exam to understand where you are. Once you do that, keep practising till you reach your goal in at least 2-3 mock exams.
Usually intermittent users of English require more time to practise than expert users.
Your goal will be dependent on your current level of proficiency in the English Language and your minimum score requirement. However, we would recommend aiming for at least a 7-7.5 in each module to be eligible for more colleges, workplaces and countries.
You ca get your IELTS results for the
- Computer based test in 3-5 days
- Paper based in 13 days
You can apply for a review of your band scores (called an Enquiry on Results) at your test centre within 6 weeks of the test date.
You must pay an enquiry fee, which is fully refunded if your band score changes. If your band score changes, you will be issued a new Test Report Form (TRF).
The request for a remark must be made within 6 weeks of the date shown on your Test Report Form (TRF). You can request a remark on the whole test or any part of it (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking).
