從7月1日開(kāi)始，為了給考生創(chuàng)造更為公平的報(bào)名環(huán)境，IELTS考試的報(bào)名系統(tǒng)將作如下兩點(diǎn)調(diào)整: 第一：考生需要在預(yù)定考試座位之前預(yù)交全額報(bào)名費(fèi)用；第二：針對(duì)部分人使用軟件頻繁刷新網(wǎng)頁(yè)占座的現(xiàn)象，報(bào)名系統(tǒng)也進(jìn)行了改進(jìn)，以杜絕此類(lèi)情況發(fā)生。

Starting from 1st July, IELTS candidates need to pre-pay their test fee before they can book an IELTS test. Furthermore, there will be also improvement in the system for dealing with attempted unfair occupation of test seats. These changes are introduced to ensure that all candidates have an equal chance to register for the IELTS test and to avoid unfair occupation of test seats.

The new registration process will be:

  • 1) Create your NEEA User account on the IELTS registration website
  • 2) Pre-pay your test fee
  • 3) Book the test of your choice
  • 4) Complete and submit the online Application form
  • 5) Confirm payment

The payment methods do not have any change. The candidates can still pay online or through wire transfer. The balance of the test fee will be shown on the candidate's "My Status" page in his/her NEEA User account once his/her payment reaches NEEA. The "My Status" page is only accessible using the candidate NEEA User ID and password.

Then the candidate can start booking an IELTS seat once his/her "My Status" page shows he/she has enough balance. The time needed for the test fee to arrive at NEEA varies from a few minutes (for most online payments) to 5 days (for certain wire transfers), so it is advisable for the candidate to plan the test as early as possible.

Another benefit is that candidates can now register for IELTS up to 10 working days prior to their preferred date -subject to availability, instead of 15 working days. It means that candidates have more time to plan and prepare for the test.

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is recognised by a growing number of institutions and organisations in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore and other countries as evidence of having a sufficient level of English for studying, training or working in countries where English is used as the main language of communication or tuition. ?The number of IELTS candidates in mainland China mainland has reached a record high. In response to local demand from an ever-increasing number of IELTS candidates, the British Council (known in North and Central China as the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy) and the National Education Examinations Authority (NEEA) of the Ministry of Education have jointly make efforts to provide more satisfactory methods including opening more test centres,? introducing Thursday dates for the written test in addition to Saturday dates, increasing the quota at some test centres and offering more tests at various test centres.

IELTS focuses on testing English as an international language, with authentic tasks, comprehensive assessment of all four language skills including a live, face-to-face speaking test conducted by a trained, certificated examiner, and has an extensive track record in the field of English language assessment.? These features make it a practical and appropriate test for the purposes of college and university undergraduate and graduate admissions committees.
