One Skill Retake
Getting IELTS results fast means you will have time to improve your IELTS score if you need to. The minimum IELTS band score requirement will differ depending on where you plan to apply to study or work. Be sure to check with the visa regulators, universities and organisations you plan to apply to what their IELTS requirements are.
When you take IELTS with the British Council, you can access One Skill Retake. Improve your original IELTS band score in one section of the test, without having to repeat the entire test. By improving your score, you can meet the IELTS requirements for the institution you plan to apply to.
Easy-to-use computers
IELTS offers a user-friendly experience for all test takers. Whether you use a computer every day or mostly use a phone, you will be able to take IELTS with confidence.
An on-screen timer can help you manage your time and a word-count tool can help you track your progress in the Writing Section of IELTS. Headphones with adjustable volume will be provided for the Listening Section of IELTS.
Feel at ease with friendly examiners
Taking the test in a calm and controlled atmosphere is ideal for staying focused and reducing nerves on test day. Our IELTS examiners are there to support you throughout the test and make the experience as smooth as possible. The Speaking Section of IELTS will feel like a natural conversation, putting you at ease so you can focus on doing your best.
