Valid and Secure
Across all areas of test delivery, test administration and test
results, IELTS is valid and secure.
Every aspect of the IELTS test is subject to the highest quality
controls, cutting edge security and integrity management
practices.
The IELTS nine (9) band score system measures and reports test
scores in a consistent manner. It is secure, benchmarked and
understood worldwide. The rigorous processes used to produce the
test materials ensure that every version of the test is of a
comparable level of difficulty, so that your results are consistent
wherever and whenever the test is taken. IELTS scores are proven
and valid regardless of where you take the test.
IELTS has an integrated system of recruitment, training,
benchmarking, certification and monitoring of IELTS Examiners. This
ensures that they are fully qualified, experienced and effective,
and provide a standardised testing and assessment system around the
world. IELTS has a rigorous, quality assured system for marking
every IELTS test, proven by the half million IELTS tests conducted
every year. The performance of each IELTS Examiner is regularly
monitored and evaluated and they are tested every two years to
retain their certification.
IELTS test centres are operated by the British Council,
IDP:IELTS Australia or by independent organisations that meet
strict standards of quality, security and customer service.
