At registration you or your agent will be issued with an official receipt and a confirmation letter indicating the test schedule and venue.

In order to ensure that the language ability of all candidates is assessed fairly and objectively, IELTS provides a comprehensive service for candidates who have special requirements, including specific learning difficulties, hearing difficulties and visual difficulties.

If you require a modified version of the test, for example in Braille, you must give the test centre three months’ notice. This notice period is necessary for the modified test version to be prepared. If your circumstances require only special administrative arrangements to be made, such as extra time, you must give the test centre six weeks’ notice. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

During registration at the British Council, you will be advised of the venue. A letter together with an official receipt will be given confirming the exam.  If the venue is not confirmed at time of registration, you can do one of the following:

			Check our website www.britishcouncil.org.ph
			Contact the British Council office             Telephone number: +63 2 555 3000             Fax number: +63 2 555 3090             E-mail address:  britishcouncil@britishcouncil.org.ph
			Contact your registration agent.

The Speaking test is either scheduled on the same day as the written test or within up to five days before or after. For interviews following the main test your schedule and venue will be posted at the test venue after the written test. For advance speaking tests (those scheduled before the written test) you will be notified of the arrangements by phone or by email one week before your test.

The IELTS exam starts at exactly 9.00a.m. You should arrive at the test venue at 8.00a.m. to complete pre-test requirements and to check your candidate number and seat assignment.
