Find a Test Center: Visit the official IELTS website or contact your local British Council or IDP Education office to find a test center near you.

Choose the Type of Test: Decide whether you need to take the Academic or General Training version of the test. Academic is usually for those applying to study at universities and for professional registration, while General Training is typically for those migrating to English-speaking countries for secondary education, work experience, or training programs.

Register Online: Most test centers allow you to register for the test online. You’ll need to create an account on the official IELTS website or the website of the organization administering the test in your country (usually British Council or IDP). Provide the required personal information and choose a test date.

Select a Test Date and Location: Once registered, you can choose from available test dates and locations. Make sure to select a date that gives you enough time to prepare adequately.

Pay the Fee: Pay the test fee online using a credit/debit card or UPI (Paytm/PhonePe etc.). The fee varies depending on your location and the test center. Make sure to check the current fee structure on the official website.

Receive Confirmation: After completing the registration and payment, you’ll receive a confirmation email with details about the test date, time, and location. Keep this confirmation safe, as you’ll need it on the test day.

Prepare for the Test: Once you’ve booked your test, dedicate enough time to prepare thoroughly. Practice each section of the test (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) using official IELTS materials or reputable study guides.

Attend the Test: On the day of the test, arrive at the test center on time with the necessary identification documents (usually your passport or national identity card). Follow the instructions provided by the test center staff.
