IELTS Test schedule

Candidates are expected to arrive at the test center no later than 8:15 am. Doors will open and registration will begin at 8:15 am. The test begins at 9 am and the total test time is 2 hours 45 minutes (Listening, Reading and Writing). The Speaking test is scheduled on the same afternoon at any time between 1 pm and 5 pm. You should therefore be prepared to remain at the test center the whole day.

Please leave personal items (such as cell phones, cameras, iPods, calculators) at home or in your vehicle as you will not be able to take them into the test room. You do not need to bring pencils, erasers or pencil sharpeners, as these are provided to you in the test room. You are allowed to bring into the test room if required up to: 2 pens, 2 pencils, 1 eraser, 1 pencil sharpener, drinking water in a transparent bottle, reading glasses if needed (no case). If you need other forms of liquid or food in the test room for medical reasons, you should request permission from the IELTS Test Administrator on duty before the test starts. Please let us know well before the test date if you have any questions regarding what is and what is not permitted in the test room.
