Seeing this, I believe my friends will have questions again. What is the difference between UKVI's IELTS and IELTS?

UKVI's IELTS is exactly the same as IELTS in content, form, difficulty, examiner and grading standard. The main differences are:

1, different levels of security monitoring:

The British Visa and Immigration Service will join the supervision of the examination security level. In order to meet the requirements of the British Visa and Immigration Bureau for security monitoring, the test center that holds IELTS for UKVI will have higher security monitoring technology and level.

2. Different test sites:

At present, Chinese mainland 12 test sites, Hong Kong 1, total 13 test sites. The rest of the domestic test sites are not within the scope approved by the British Visa and Immigration Bureau. Students should pay attention to this when taking the IELTS test. As the examination space in UKVI is very tight, students should register for the IELTS test for visa and IELTS test for life skills in Chinese mainland 12 as soon as possible. 12 examination rooms are located in Beijing (Beijing Foreign Studies University), Wuhan (Hubei Wuchang Experimental Middle School), Jinan (Hongjialou Campus of Shandong University), Shenyang (Liaoning University), Shanghai (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics), Hangzhou (Zhejiang Education Examination Service Center), Nanjing (Southeast University), Guangzhou (Guangdong University of Foreign Studies) and Shenzhen (SEG).

3. The examination fee is different.

Because of the different test sites and facilities, IELTS will have different test fees for UKVI and IELTS.

Revised IELTS test fee:

1. IELTS (IELTS A/G) registration fee 1750 yuan;

2. UK visa immigrant UKVI IELTS, the registration fee is 2000 yuan;

3. Life Skills IELTS A 1/B 1), registration fee 1500 yuan.

420 yuan and the transfer reconsideration fee of 65,438+0,000 yuan. The reconsideration time is still six weeks, and the results will be frozen during the reconsideration period.

Specifically, the first IELTS (IELTS A/G) is called traditional IELTS, which is familiar to China students (including A- academics and G- immigrants).

The difference of ordinary IELTS is that it cannot be used to apply for language courses, preparatory courses and immigrant visas, and can only be used for direct reading. IELTS can be used to apply for any student visa (preparatory courses and language courses) or immigrant visa. IELTS is easier than ordinary exams.

Here are some questions that students often ask about IELTS:

Q 1: Teacher, IELTS has actually introduced a new policy. I don't know how to review at once. Is it still the same test method as before? How to review? Are the questions still in those forms? Has the question type changed?

A: In fact, the new policy only affects students who read languages. People who read the language need to take a new IELTS test. This time, there is no difference between the new IELTS test content and the original IELTS test, and the difficulty is the same, but it will be a little stricter than the original IELTS invigilation process, with several more procedures.

Q2: Teacher, can UKVI IELTS be used for direct reading?

A: Yes.

Q3: Teacher, is UKVI's IELTS not an immigrant?

A: It can be used to apply for any student visa or immigrant visa.

Q4: Teacher, will UKVI affect the application for a good school?

A: There is no difference.

Generally speaking, the new policy actually only affects students studying in preparatory courses and language classes. You need to take the new UKVI IELTS for matriculation and language classes. For students who are confident that they can get IELTS direct reading scores, ordinary IELTS is also possible. Moreover, there is no difference between the new IELTS and the original IELTS in the test content, and the difficulty is the same, but it will be a little stricter than the original IELTS invigilation process and have several more procedures. It should be noted that there are few test sites in UKVI IELTS nationwide, and the number of test places is tight. It is usually necessary to register one month in advance, so students should prepare in advance.
