How and when do I get access to the materials?

When your payment for the IELTS test is confirmed you will be sent access codes to the materials.

You will then create your own personal log on and as a double check on your identity you will be asked to enter the date of your IELTS written test.

You will be able to access the materials as many times as you wish until 1 week after the date of your written exam.

What if I forget my personal log on details?

You should access the Road to IELTS portal and request your password which will be automatically sent to you.
