Taking your first test
Your first IELTS test is free, provided that you:

- register for the IELTS test through the British Council website.
- give your consent to the British Council to release your test results directly to the University during the online IELTS registration process.
Undergraduate students are not required to pay for their first attempt online, as the University will settle the test fee with the British Council directly.
Multiple attempts
