A better IELTS test experience with Video-Call Speaking

Same Test. Same Examiners. Same Experience. How does the video-call speaking test work? The Test takers will take their Speaking test via a video call by an IELTS Speaking examiner, enabling a real-life, real-time, two-way interaction. The Video-call Speaking test will be exactly the same as the in-person Speaking test in terms of content, scoring, timing, question format and security arrangements. You will be able to see your examiners face, hear them speak, and have a live conversation with them, asyou would in-person.
