* The British Council and IDP will no longer offer IELTS on paper in Korea. From 22 March 2026, all IELTS tests will be delivered on computer, providing a faster, more efficient and streamlined testing experience. IELTS on computer offers the same test format, questions and scoring as IELTS on paper. IELTS on computer also provides significant benefits to test takers at no additional cost:
- Faster results: Typically receive your results in 1-2 days
- Faster booking: Book your test as late as one day before registration closes
- More test dates: More choice and flexibility for you
- One Skill Retake: Retake just one skill, not the whole test, if you need to improve your score
What does the fee include? Our IELTS test fee includes exclusive preparation materials, free practice tests and much more.

If you take IELTS on paper, your Speaking may take place on a different day(usually on Sundays) to the other sections of the test. You will receive a notification confirming your Speaking test information in advance.
