One of the ways to take the IELTS test is through the IELTS Online platform, which allows you to do the test from the comfort of your own home. The online test is identical to the paper-based test in terms of content, format, and level of difficulty. It is also marked by the same trained and certified IELTS examiners. Remember that it is only available for the IELTS Academic module when booking for IELTS Online.
To take the IELTS Online test, you will need to have a computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam. You will also need to have a quiet, well-lit room where you can take the IELTS test without interruption. Once you have registered for the test and received your login details, you can access it from the IELTS Online platform at the scheduled date and time. While IELTS is accepted by more than 11,000 organisations in 140 countries, you will need to contact the organisation you’re applying to, to confirm that they accept IELTS Online. Do note that this type of test is not accepted for immigration purposes. For other test types, please visit this link.
Just like the normal IELTS test, your English proficiency for IELTS Online is still being assessed across four key skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The listening, reading, and writing sections of the test are conducted online, while the speaking section is conducted with a live interviewer over the internet. The speaking section is scheduled at a different time from the other sections of the test, usually within seven days of the test date.
Overall, the IELTS Online test is a convenient and flexible way to take the IELTS test, allowing you to do the test from the comfort of your own home, while still maintaining the same level of rigor and standards as the paper-based test. It is the ideal option if you are unable to go to a test centre due to time constraints or personal reasons.
The results of the IELTS Online test are available within 3–6 calendar days from the test date. You can access your results online using your login details, and they will be sent to the institutions or organisations that you have requested.
