IELTS tests are available on up to 48 fixed dates a year. Tests are normally taken on Saturdays, with some sessions on Thursdays, to give test takers and centres more flexibility.
Centres can offer tests up to four times per month depending on local demand. Not all centres offer tests on all dates and it is important to confirm test dates with the centre.
The Listening, Reading and Writing tests are all taken on the same day. The Speaking test can take place up to seven days before or after the other papers; this is decided by the centre.
To register for an IELTS test, you need to submit your application form at least 2 weeks before the test date. Make sure you speak to the centre in good time.
The following test dates are available at British Council Libya.
Bolded* dates are for both Academic and General Training modules.
Dates for Academic module only,
