What is the validity period of TOEFL IELTS test?

TOEFL and IELTS are valid for two years.

1, the new TOEFL and ETS headquarters form a local area network through the Internet to publish different examination questions for everyone. The exam questions are valid once, and there will be no question bank. In addition, after the answers are recorded electronically in the online exam, the answers are transmitted to the manual marking network, which can be scored objectively and reliably to ensure the fairness and rationality of the exam.

The IELTS official has not announced the adoption of the "computer test". China candidates still take the IELTS test in written form. There will be a certain question bank in the exam, and some questions will appear repeatedly in the exam. The grading standard of IELTS composition in 2006 will be more detailed.

2. Candidates who take the IELTS test in Chinese mainland must log on to the IELTS test registration website of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education to register and pay the fees.

IELTS registration is open all year round. You can register after the test date is announced, and the latest registration time is two weeks before the test. However, due to the large number of applicants, candidates should register at least two months in advance to ensure sufficient examination places. Candidates can choose any test center in the country according to their own situation, regardless of geographical restrictions.
