How much is the IELTS exam fee in Brazil?

With the British Council (Brazil policy): cancel 15 or more days before the test for a 75% refund; within 14 days nothing comes back. Up to five transfers are free 15 or more days out, a transfer within 5 to 14 days costs 25% of the fee, and under 5 days it counts as a cancellation. IELTS for UKVI and Life Skills follow the UKVI policy: 75% back more than 14 days out, 50% within 14 days but more than two days out, 25% within two days.

IDP's reschedule and cancel page lists these rules for IELTS: cancel 15 or more days before the Listening, Reading and Writing date and you get the fee back minus an admin charge; within 14 days the fee is not refunded. With a medical certificate submitted within 5 days of the test, you get a refund minus a local admin cost, and a no-show loses the whole fee. The same page also mentions a five-week rule and tells you to check with your test centre, because centres handle changes slightly differently, so ask before you book.

Both providers accept special consideration for serious illness or emergencies. See our IELTS cancel, reschedule and refund guide.

The British Council takes a credit card through its online booking system. You register with an RG, a CRNM or a valid passport; a CNH driving licence and digital IDs are not accepted, and the address for your Test Report Form must include a valid CEP (British Council). Results on computer take 3 to 5 days, IELTS for UKVI arrives the Wednesday after the test, and Life Skills takes 7 days (results page).

IDP books online through its test centre finder, where you upload a copy of your ID. One Skill Retake must be sat within 60 days of a full test on computer (British Council). Before paying, take a free IELTS mock test.
