IELTS on computer and IELTS on paper are identical and equally valid. IELTS on computer is not an online test from home. It is a fully valid IELTS test taken in the test centre surrounding, valid for all the same purposes as IELTS on paper. 
For more information about the formats on computer and paper, see more under "How to register". Both options include the individual speaking test face-to-face with an examiner. You do not speak to a computer. 

"B1 test" = IELTS test with a result level of B1 
If you need proof of a "B1" level only for immigration in Denmark, then take the IELTS General Training test. An IELTS score of roughly 4-5.5 translates to the B1 level required. This level will be  printed on your test report. The Danish authorities do recognise the IELTS test. 
Do not choose Life Skills B1, you can not use it for this purpose. 

UKVI-IELTS ("SELT" test) or UKVI Life Skills:        
This is relevant only

- if you wish to live and work in the UK and apply for a non-study residency visa to the UK.
- if your university in the UK requires an UKVI-IELTS ("SELT" English test) (only some  universities require this)

For information about UKVI IELTS or Life Skills for UKVI, go to IELTS for UKVI 
IELTS for UKVI is available again in Denmark and Norway.

IELTS Special Consideration policy:                                                                      Occasionally there may be instances where you are unable to attend your test or are disadvantaged on the test day owing to illness, injury, or another exceptional event outside your control. Information about applying for Special Consideration can be found here. All such requests must be made in writing no later than 2 calendar days after the test date supported by evidence. 


When to register

You can register close to the test date as long as places are available, but the test is in high demand in certain months and there may be less choice or dates may fill up. Note that there are few tests/places in July. Results are ready in 3-5 days (computer test) or 13 days (pen-and-paper test). 

For university studies, if you wait with your English test until you have a conditional offer, your choices may be fewer or you may risk missing your deadline. We recommend to book in good time - after all, your IELTS test results can be made available to institutions up to 2 years after the test date. Up to five recipients are included in your test fee. 

Preferred dates

If you would like a different date than what you can currently book, you can give us your preferences here and we will contact you if an opportunity should come up.
