IELTS Exam Dates 2022

Are you planning to sit for an IELTS test in 2022? IDP has just released the IELTS exam dates 2022, which you can find below. We suggest that you book as soon as you think you are ready for your IELTS exam.

Whether you want to take the Academic, General Training or UKVI IELTS test, you need time to prepare. While many IELTS experts recommend around 6-8 weeks’ preparation for the exam, we suggest you don’t leave anything to chance and make sure you take your IELTS test only when you are fully prepared. Taking a full-length IELTS mock test helps you understand if you are ready to book your test or not.

We also suggest buffering some additional time to account for shutdowns that may happen in your country due to COVID-19.
