When I tell people to shun the online stuff and do it manually, they look at me like some kind of person who doesn't know anything

Now for the sake of the newbies, please forget this online stuff. It's cheaper yes but WHAT IF you aren't soo lucky? The anxiety of writing IELTS is enough, so y would you want to add the payment procedure? Besides, British council doesn't pick calls or reply mails on time so y put yourself through all that.

If you can go to the bank and make a bank draft and take to their office, please do. It will save you a lot of things.

If you still wanna pay online, good. You may be lucky

I can also see you are trending on German thread, I will be going for Masters Winter Semester 2016.., If you don't mind, we could work together since we are aiming same direction

@ whyna, I will pay via bank draft and do I need to register afresh or use the previous registration? Many thanks.

It's quite easy. If you are paying through your account, just go to your bank, make sure you have the stipulated amount of money in your account and about 500 or so extra which is for bank charges. Ask them to make a bank draft in the name of British Council. Finito. You wait for about 20 mins depending on the bank and collect the draft

Next, you have to make sure that draft gets to British Council within 2 working days.

Please note that you should have filled in your data and uploaded a copy of your passport online. Print it out cos they might ask for it.

That's how I and many others did ours. If anyone has any inputs on the latest requirement, pls add for the benefit of these ones. I'm however very sure of the bank aspect. If you want to take cash to another bank, the bank charge is usually higher...maybe 100-200 naira difference. Good luck

Nothing I guess (Forgive my "guess" word. I'm forgetting some things) You just have to wait till you get the confirmatory mail from them. Checking my mail now, I received the confirmatory mail from them on the 7th for an exam that was scheduled for 16th. So I guess it's safe to relax for now

Thanks for the compliment. I was also helped by someone and that's the least I can do

Hello everyone! I hope this thread isn't too Late for me to share for some folks who are writing IELTS test.
I wrote mine July 23rd, 2015 at ibadan centre (mauve 21) and to tell you what, IELTS seems way easier than GRE,GMAT and TOEFL if you can dedicate at least 2weeks practice to prepare. I have a link I can share about free ebooks on Cambridge IELTS volume 1 to 9(they are each worth 1gb. In size so prepare to have enough mb for downloads or u select from volume 7 to 9 like I did). Should you be interested, you can email me at contactchyma@yahoo.com and I'd send a link where you can download it with no fees attached. Goodluck to prospective test takers.
BTW: my 2 weeks set aside for study and focus without working was worth it

im interested pls..
