IELTS is conducting a pilot for the Test Day Photograph project in the session of 12 May 2012 which will be held in Brasov and in the session of 26 May 2012 which will be held in Bucharest.
All candidates who register for this test will have their photograph taken in the morning of the written test. This photograph will be printed onto the candidate’s Test Report Form.
We are piloting this project as IELTS is dedicated to protecting the genuine candidate, whilst at the same time ensuring the highest standard of customer care and validity of test scores.
This additional security arrangement will provide additional protection for genuine candidates against fraudsters and those who try to exploit test takers. They also provide receiving organisation the additional reassurance that the person whose photograph appears on the Test Report Form is the person who took the test.
