For the purpose of combating Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP),decisions have been made in consultation with the British Council to CANCEL all March IELTS tests at all test centers throughout mainland China and return full test fees to personal registration accounts of affected test takers. We will closely follow national and local anti-epidemic development and update post March arrangement of registration and testing activities.

It is a compelling obligation for testing organizations to prioritize Anti-Epidemic measures and safeguard life and health of people. We appreciate all test takers’ understanding and cooperation. We hope all test takers would stay calm and take good care of yourself, and follow updates of announcements.
