Why is the IELTS registration fee so expensive?

The price of the IELTS test has increased again since January 2020. According to the official IELTS website, candidates who apply for the test held after January 1, 2020 need to pay the relevant test fees according to the adjusted amount. . The IELTS test fee has been adjusted to RMB 2,170, and the IELTS test fee for British visa and immigration is RMB 2,220.

1. Reasons for the number of people. Nowadays, the number of people applying for IELTS in China is increasing year by year, and some candidates will sign up repeatedly, which has caused the cost of IELTS to rise.

2. Cost issue. Everyone knows that prices in our country have been rising in recent years, and the operating costs of the IELTS test will naturally continue to rise. Exam organizers have also increased their support for IELTS and candidates, such as the launch of the domestic registration system and the official IELTS Chinese website, and the development and launch of the free test preparation course "IELTS Road". Although candidates are not charged a fee when using it, they have already spent the money and naturally have to recover it from the registration fee.

3. Exchange rate issue. Due to corresponding exchange rate changes, the standard fee for the IELTS test is constantly adjusted.
