The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Exam Dates in the Philippines for 2019

For immigrants, please choose the General Training (GT) Exam. The Academic Exam is for international students only and not for those wishing to migrate to Canada.

The GT exam is composed of 4 parts - Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, all of which are timed. The speaking exam is nerve wracking because it is similar to a job interview where questions are thrown at you. Plus, there is a voice recorder the whole time. Normally, the Speaking test is done on a different day. You will be asked to choose a schedule for this. The Listening, Reading, and Writing exam happens all together which takes half a day. By the time you finish you will be so exhausted, hungry, and relieved. So for me, I suggest to schedule the speaking test on a different day and not right after the exam. 😊

Below is an overview of the available dates for the GT exam. Please visit both websites for detailed information. Note that most exams are conducted in hotel ballrooms due to the large number of examinees. Exams are booked online through either the British Council or IDP.
