First, you need to understand the reasons for taking the IELTS exam and then you can decide on the type of IELTS test you will have to take:
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is offered in two formats. From 2016, it has been possible to take IELTS Academic and General Training as well as IELTS UKVI either through the traditional paper based exam or online in what is called the computer delivered version.
The possible advantages of the latter are first IELTS test results are promised within 5-7 days as opposed to 13 in the case of the paper exam. Also, many IELTS candidates may prefer the keyboard and screen to pen and paper.
Of course, both versions are taken at British Council or IDP centres and the Speaking Test in both versions remains face-to-face with an examiner.
However, not all countries and centres offer the computer delivered IELTS test yet so please check to see its availability in your case.(https://www.ielts.org/about-the-test/paper-or-computer)
Covid-19 and IELTS Indicator
It gives you the chance to measure your IELTS test ability while tests are suspended. Results are given in 7 days and can be used to give higher education institutions an official assessment of your English proficiency. For information, go to (https://www.ieltsindicator.com)
Here are the steps to take to apply for your IELTS exam:
These available dates may be for up to 2 or 3 months ahead or only 1 month. The best advice is to make your exam booking one of the first for your chosen date. That way you won’t be disappointed if all the places available are already filled.
Also, select your date thinking carefully about when you will receive the results (a maximum of 13 days after the test date) and how that may affect important deadlines, for example, for visa application or the confirmation of a university place.
It is a very good idea, for example, to present IELTS Academic at least six months before the start of the university academic year which is usually September or October.
This depends on two things.
