Que. What is the price for IELTS?

Ans. The cost of the IELTS exam varies per nation. The IELTS examination cost is the equivalent for both variants of the exam (Academic & General Training). The IDP Education advisor will assist you with the exam fee in your nation's currency, or you may approach your closest test centre.
