Only pens, pencils and erasers. Correction
fluid must not be used. You must leave anything which you
do not need, or which is not allowed, either outside the examination
room, or as instructed by the supervisor. Mobile phones and
pagers must be switched off and placed with personal belongings
in the area designated by the supervisor. Any candidate who
does not switch off their phone/pager, or who retains one
in their possession, will be disqualified.
The Listening, Reading and Writing components of the test are
always completed immediately after each other and in this same
order. The Speaking test can be taken up to 7 days either before
or after the test date.
As IELTS is an international test, a variety of English accents
are used in both of these examinations.
Yes. At the beginning of the test, candidates
receive instructions and hear a sample question. Next, candidates
read Section One questions and then listen to Section One
and answer the questions on the question paper as they listen.
The same procedure follows for Sections Two, Three and Four.
This takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. In the following
final ten minutes, candidates transfer their answers onto
the answer sheet.
No. The Reading test is one hour, and
you must write all your answers on the answer sheet in this
time.
No. The answer sheet is scanned by a computer
which cannot read pen.
Yes. The examiner will not see your question
paper.
The Speaking test is conducted with a
one-to-one interview with a certified examiner, which is recorded
on an audiocassette.
The candidate needs to bring the same identification documents
they supplied on registration, as these must be checked again
against the information on the application form. These documents
will be checked by the administrator and the Speaking examiner
prior to the candidate entering the interview room.
At any time within two years of the date of the examination,
a candidate can apply to the centre which administered the test
to be sent 5 copies of the original Test Report Form free of
charge. These Test Report Forms will not be sent to the candidates
themselves, but the universities abroad, Embassy and Consulate.
For any further copies, there is an administration charge per
copy. Please contact your test centre for further details.
Under usual test circumstances, the candidates
will receive their Test Report Forms approximately two weeks
after they complete their test.
Candidates are not permitted to retake the test at any centre
within 90 days of their previous test date, i.e. 90 days and
no fewer. Candidates are reminded that scores are unlikely to
improve dramatically without English language tuition in the
interim.
Test centres make every effort to cater for the special needs
of any disabled candidates, to enable them to best understand
questions and tasks and to give their answers. It is our aim
for the language level of all candidates, irrespective of disability,
to be assessed fairly and objectively. Candidates with special
needs should inform their test centre when applying so that
appropriate arrangements can be made.
The test centre offers the candidate an alternative test date
as soon as possible.
Candidates who request a postponement or cancellation of their
test within 5 weeks of the test date will normally be charged
the full fee unless they are able to provide appropriate medical
evidence to support their request within 5 days of the test
date.
The candidate will lose their full test fee. However, if a medical
certificate is provided within 5 days of the test date then
the full fee is refunded minus a local administrative deduction.
Candidates may apply for an enquiry on results procedure at
the centre at which they took their test within four weeks of
issue of results. There is a fee for this which is refunded
should the band score change.
