How to book IELTS in Indonesia

  1. 01 Check which test you need: Academic for universities and scholarships, General Training for most work and migration routes, IELTS for UKVI or Life Skills for UK visas.
  2. 02 Choose a centre below and open its official booking link. British Council venues book through the British Council Indonesia Foundation and IDP and IALF venues through IDP.
  3. 03 Pick a date and Speaking time, on computer or on paper where offered.
  4. 04 Enter your details exactly as they appear on your passport or KTP and pay.
  5. 05 Check the confirmation email for the venue, arrival time and what to bring.

On test day

Bring the same ID you registered with, a passport or KTP. IDP and the British Council both check it on test day, and the Speaking examiner checks it again. Invalid or expired ID is refused, and without it you cannot sit the test.

Results

IELTS on computer: 1 to 5 days. On paper: 13 days at IDP, where offered. The British Council gives 1 to 2 days for IELTS on computer, 1 to 5 days for IELTS for UKVI and up to 9 days for Life Skills. IDP gives 3 to 5 days on computer and 13 days on paper. To see what your scores mean, use the band score calculator.

Retakes and One Skill Retake

IELTS One Skill Retake lets you resit one skill within 60 days of an eligible IELTS on computer test, if the university, scholarship or visa route accepts it. Check that before you book. How One Skill Retake works.

Cancelling or moving your test

Both providers refund 75% if you cancel 15 or more days before the test and nothing within 14 days. At IDP you can move your test once: free more than 15 days ahead to a date within three months, for a 25% fee from 5 to 14 days ahead, and not within 5 days. Exceptional circumstances can be considered with evidence.

Which test for your plans

Australia

Student and skilled visas accept Academic or General Training. Skilled points start at 7.0 in each skill (proficient English).
