IELTS on Computer: a range of test dates each month - downloadable Test Report Form

Dates for IELTS on paper and IELTS on computer in all our Norwegian locations can be found in the registration system. Additional dates may be added if there is demand.
Before you book, you can already make use of the extensive preparation materials available for free on www.takeielts.org
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.

Detailed cancellation and refund policy:
🇩🇰 for Denmark 🇳🇴 for Norway
🇳🇴 Please note that Right to Withdraw (Angrerett) does not apply after you have paid your test fee. Payment of your test fee grants you access to the digital IELTS preparation materials, and once this access is granted, right to withdrawal no longer applies (Angrerettloven, Kap. 5., § 22 letter, n).
🇩🇰 Fortrydelsesret (DK)
Køb af prøver her på hjemmesiden er ikke omfattet af fortrydelsesretten (jf. forbrugeraftalelovens § 18 stk. 2).
🇩🇰 The right of withdrawal as per Consumer Contracts Act §18 stk. 2 does not apply.
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.
