The IELTS exam dates differ based on location due to demand, local holidays, and operational logistics:

Test Center Policies

  1. Larger cities often have more frequent test dates, including both paper-based and computer-delivered options.
  2. Smaller or remote test centers may offer fewer dates, requiring early booking.

Regional Demand

  1. Countries with high numbers of international applicants, like India and China, may offer weekly or even daily tests.
  2. In contrast, less populated areas might only host exams monthly.

Time Zones and Availability: The release times for computer-delivered test results might vary slightly due to time zone differences.

Travel Considerations: If your nearest center has limited dates, plan for travel to another city with more options.
