Frequently Asked Questions - IELTS

Who will mark my exam?

Each test centre has a group of examiners, trained and certified by Cambridge University. Examiners are re-evaluated every year. Besides that, the University delivers standardisation sessions and a monitored double-marking exercise every year at random.

These examiners are responsible for the clerical marking of Listening and Reading tests, marking the essays (two compositions) and conducting the interviews as well.

What should I bring on the test day?

Candidates are allowed to enter the test room with only their National ID or Passport. Any other personal belongings should be left outside the test room. Please do not bring valuables as the test centre cannot be held responsible for them.

What happens if I am absent on the day of the test without giving prior notice?

You will lose your full test fee.
