If you're planning to take the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam in an English-speaking country, it's important to know the current pricing. As of 2025, the cost for both the IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training tests is £225.00.
This fee applies whether you're taking the computer-delivered or paper-based version of the test. The IELTS is widely recognized by universities, employers, and immigration authorities across the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other English-speaking countries.
The test includes four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. You can choose between Academic or General Training, depending on your purpose — whether it's for study, work, or immigration.
Tips before registering:
- Always book through official IELTS test centers or the IELTS website.
- Prices may vary slightly depending on your exact location or any added services.
- Make sure you have a valid ID (usually a passport) to register.
Given the high cost, it's a good idea to prepare thoroughly before taking the test. Free and paid preparation materials are available online, including full practice tests, sample questions, and online courses.
