Computer-delivered IELTS

IELTS computer test is now being offered in Singapore. Please note that you will still be able to complete a paper-based format IELTS test, if you prefer.

The test will be held on selected days and registration will close four days before the test date, subject to availability of places.

So, what is new about the IELTS computer test?

If you choose the new option, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing sections using a computer. The Speaking test will remain face-to-face, as we believe it is the most effective way of assessing your speaking skills and prompts a more lifelike performance.

All other aspects of the test are identical, whether it is taken on paper or on computer. Results for the IELTS computer test will be available 5-7 days after you finish all sections of your test.
