I’ve been receiving many emails with questions about the test dates and it became clear to me that many people are confused about it. Here is what’s going on with IELTS dates:

Every month there are 2 dates for General Training test and 4 dates for Academic test. The exams are held on Thursdays and Saturdays only and the dates are already set for the rest of 2008 and 2009.

Now, you should also know that test centre in your country may “skip” some of those dates and not hold the exam – it depends on how many students signed up and it’s up to the IELTS centre to decide will they do it or not.

Here are the official IELTS test dates for the rest of year 2008:

October 2008:
General Training test: 11th, 25th
Academic test: 4th, 11th, 23rd, 25th

November 2008:
General Training test: 8th, 20th
Academic test: 8th, 15th, 20th, 29th

December 2008:
General Training test: 6th, 13th
Academic test: 4th, 6th, 13th, 20th
