How the test is structured
The main tests begin at 0900, but you will need to report at 0830 so you can complete the necessary administration before taking your test.

You will sit a total of four tests: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The listening, reading and writing test will take place in the morning and last two hours and 30 minutes.

The speaking test is a one-to-one interview and lasts about fifteen minutes, usually taken on the same day (in the afternoon or as notified). It can also be taken on any of the seven days before or after the IELTS main test date. We will give you a time for your speaking test at least one week before.

Results
Results are issued within two weeks. Candidates receive a copy of the Test Report Form.

Additionally, Test Report Forms can be sent to up to two institutions of your choice within one month of the test date (you will be charged for the DHL costs, to be paid before the forms are sent).
