Demonstrate Your English Language Proficiency

Typically, an overall score of 6.0 and above can be your ticket to undergraduate courses in most universities globally, while a 6.5+ overall score can get you access to postgraduate studies. However, a few programs that require a sharper understanding of the language may require scores above that. The same goes for the top-ranked universities that set the entry bar above average. 

If you score less than what your dream university asks for, you can sign up for Foundation and pre-sessional English courses and still get an admission offer. Or take the help of expert IELTS coaching to raise your scores higher. Register for the UniApplica IELTS coaching classes and confidently get an IELTS score between 6-9 with guided preparation.

Different institutions may have different requirements in terms of English language proficiency levels. Check with the institution before applying to know which IELTS test type and version they would accept.

Generally, the IELTS test scores are valid for two years from the result declaration date, although specific institutions may set differing test validity for application acceptance.

You can take the IELTS test as many times as you want to perfect your score. But it is wise to sign up for IELTS Coaching classes and secure your desired score at the first chance.

Your valid passport is the only document you need to register for IELTS.

IELTS is one of the longest-standing standardized evaluations of competency in the English language brought together by the collaboration of global stalwarts Cambridge English, British Council, and IDP: IELTS Australia. Considering the irrefutable foundation, the test is trusted by more than 11000 institutions worldwide as an appropriate measure of English language proficiency of higher study aspirants, job seekers and immigrants.  Immigration authorities in countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK list IELTS as a mandatory requirement for visa and PR applications from non-native speakers of the language.

For students, the wide acceptance of IELTS makes the test more favorable than similar other tests. Moreover, easy access to quality IELTS coaching classes for pre-test support is also another reason for preferring the test more than others.

If you think that your IELTS attempt was not good enough and that you can do better, you can re-book the test to give it another try. But, do not forget to brush up on your test prep with fail-safe IELTS classes.

However, if you think that your test attempt was better than the scores you received, then you could seek a review of your IELTS results by applying for an Enquiry on Results (EOR) at the test centre where you took the test, within 6 weeks of the test date. You can choose to get the whole test or one or more sections reviewed. 

When you apply for EOR, a senior examiner independently assesses your paper without knowledge of your original grades. In case your scores are enhanced after the review, the test centre will issue a new Test Report Form (TRF). the review results are made available within 2 – 21 days. Applying for EOR involves a fee that varies from location to location. If your grades improve due to EOR, your application fee is refunded.

You will have to contact your test centre to postpone or cancel the IELTS booking. Postponement or cancellation of IELTS is guided by the following regulations:

• You will get a partial refund after deducting the administrative fee if you cancel or postpone the test more than 5 weeks before the scheduled date.
• You will have to forego the full test fee if you cancel or postpone the test less than 5 weeks from your scheduled date. However, if you can provide sufficient proof of a serious medical emergency, you may be allowed to do so without additional charges. 

Contact your mentors at UniApplica IELTS Coaching classes for further guidance about the processes involved.

If you could not attend your scheduled IELTS test without prior notice, you would most likely lose your test fees altogether. However, you stand the chance to receive a refund minus the local administrative charges, if you can submit a medical certificate from a competent authority within 5 days of missing the test. If on the test day, you get late for the test for some unforeseen reason beyond your control, please inform the test centre immediately and they may allow you to take the test on the next available date. 

You should be at least 16 years of age to take the IELTS test.
