Frequently Asked Questions

Can we reschedule the speaking test date in the IELTS exam registration?

No. There is no provision for rescheduling the IELTS speaking test date. Since the dates are system generated, applicants have to take the test on their date. However, the test dates can be changed for the rest of the tests.

Is the IELTS test at home option different from the one conducted at the test center?

There is some difference in terms of countries and universities accepting the score. Countries like Canada, New Zealand, and Australia aren’t accepting IELTS indicator scores.

How are IELTS registration dates affected amid the COVID-19 pandemic?
