Check out your location for the current possibilities for taking an IELTS exam.

Some general rules apply for everybody who wants to take a test. If you have been exposed to novel coronavirus, or if you are unwell, have a cough or fever, or are showing signs of being short of breath, please do not visit the test center. This, of course, is common practice and does not only account for visiting test centers. You are advised to wear a mask when you are outside or in the testing center. Almost all testing centers will provide hygienic measures in order to wash your hands and avoid personal contact as much as possible. In addition you are asked to keep a safe distance to everybody that you meet at a test center. In order to keep everybody safe, every test location has iets own additional rules in order to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus.

Good luck with your exam. Please stay safe and continue your dreams of studying abroad.
