How to book, what ID to bring, and when results arrive

Pick the test first, then the module and the test city, and choose a Mumbai venue from the list. IDP asks for a copy of your passport (first and last pages, plus any observation pages) and you must bring the original passport on test day.
PTE: book on pearsonpte.com or through an authorised PTE partner. Choose the test, enter Mumbai, pick a centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport for all PTE tests, and your booking name must match it exactly.
Results: IDP's results page says IELTS on Computer results are typically available within 1–2 days of the test and paper results 7 days after it; IDP gives seven days for Life Skills. Pearson says PTE results typically arrive within two days. Before you pay, try a free IELTS mock test or a free PTE mock test to check you are ready.
