Our research  ensures  IELTS remains fair and unbiased for anyone who sits the test, regardless of nationality, background, gender or lifestyle. Our highly trusted  team  ensures every version of the test is of comparable difficulty.

Question 3

What band score do I need to study abroad?

Accepted Answer

The band score  you need  to  study abroad is set by the institution to which you are applying and not by IELTS.
The score needed to apply to  a course may vary based on the institution or course you want to apply for. If  you are  not sure what band score  you need to apply for your desired course,  check out our Who accepts IELTS page or double-check with the institution you wish to apply to. 

Question 4

What is the difference between IELTS on paper and IELTS on computer?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to take IELTS on computer, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing test parts using a computer.
If you choose to take the  IELTS on paper,  you will complete the Listening, Reading and Writing test parts on paper.
The Speaking test for both paper and computer  are  face to face with an examiner. This is the best way  to measure  your  speaking skills  as it takes a more  realistic  approach: a life-like conversation with an examiner.

Question 5

Will the IELTS test centre send my results to universities overseas?

Accepted Answer

When booking  your IELTS test, you  are  given the option to have your IELTS results sent up to up to 5 nominated institutions. If  you have  already taken the test  and would like to send your results to a recognising organisation, contact the  test centre  where you sat your exam. They will be able to help. Note that  there may be additional fees  for this.
