receive instructions and hear a sample question. Next, candidates
read Section One questions and then listen to Section One

paper.
The Speaking test, which is recorded on an audiocassette, is conducted on a one-to-one interview with a certified examiner.
Candidates need 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 candidates 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

For any further copies, there is an administration charge per
copy. Please contact your test centre for further details.
Results are issued on the 13th day after the test; in fact they can be accessed online at http://ielts-results.britshcouncil.org from 12 noon onwards on the 13th day after the test.
Candidates can retake the test on the next available date and there is no limit to the number of times that the test can be retaken.
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 the examining board’s 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.
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.

certificate is provided within 5 days of the test date then
the full fee is refunded minus a local administrative deduction.
