Test Date Transfer
Change Or Reschedule Your IELTS Exam Date
You have the flexibility to change your test date any time before the scheduled test. However, please note that transfer requests close to the test date may be treated as cancellations.
If you’d like to reschedule, simply select a new date within three months of your original test date. For any dates beyond three months, your transfer will be processed as a cancellation.
Keep in mind, that each booking can only be transferred once.
