Please Note

We have noticed some online advertisements on several social media sites claim to provide services for IELTS test takers, such as registering for IELTS, collection of results and making arrangements for a re-mark of the test. We advise all potential IELTS test takers to avoid using such services that are not directly affiliated to IELTS.
Once you’ve submitted your IELTS application, it’s time to start preparing. Learn tips, get sample tests, past papers, and more from IDP. We even offer 30 days of free online practice to get you better prepared for your examination.
If you have any questions, require special arrangements, or anything else, please speak to your test centre team. They will be more than happy to assist you in any way regarding the IELTS registration and application, as well as information about the test day.

The test for study

If you plan to continue your studies overseas after your HKDSE, you will need to send your IELTS exam score along with your applications. Thousands of the world's most reputable universities and colleges will accept your IELTS results as evidence of your English language proficiency.

The test for professionals

Professional registration bodies in many fields will accept an IELTS result, including accounting, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy and teaching bodies in many countries. This means that after completing your studies, you may need to take the test in order to gain professional registration in an English-speaking country. If you choose IELTS as the test you take to enter university, you will be familiar with the IELTS test format when you sit it again for professional registration.

The test for migration

IELTS is required by governments in more countries than any other English language test as a requirement for permanent residency. As you apply for work visas, skilled migration, or permanent residency, you will be required to submit your IELTS test results. The governments of the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand accept IELTS results.

The test that's fairer to you

Did you know that IELTS is the only high-stakes English language test where your Speaking test is one-on-one with an examiner in a private room? This means you will not be interrupted by other test takers, and the result will be a much fairer reflection on your true abilities. There will be no computers, no technical problems, and no distractions whatsoever.
