UKVI IELTS Moves Fully to Computer: A Faster, Better Test Experience
We are pleased to announce that from 8 March 2026, all UKVI IELTS tests will be delivered entirely on computer, providing a faster, more efficient and streamlined testing experience.
UKVI IELTS on computer offers the same test format, questions and scoring as IELTS on paper. UKVI 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
