What is IELTS?

The world’s most popular English language test, IELTS is for anyone looking to live, study or work in a country where English is the native language.

Required by immigration authorities and many academic institutions, IELTS uses four key areas – Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening – to assess your level of English. You cannot fail the IELTS test; you are simply scored based on your answers, then provided with a level.

What’s the difference between IELTS on paper & IELTS on computer?

Both IELTS on paper and IELTS on computer are exactly the same in content and both are taken inside a test centre. However, if you are hoping to book your test in quickly or need a wider range of IELTS exam dates, then there are more test sittings available with IELTS on computer.

IELTS on computer tests are offered up to three times a day, seven days a week, so there is much more flexibility when it comes to finding a suitable date and time.
