Registering for IELTS or TOEFL Short Notice
I need to apply to school and, despite native fluency and a subject matter that will not require English, QU and others insist on my TOEFL/IELTS score. Current situation appears to be the soonest exam I could take is middle or end of January, according to official websites for British Council and QU. IELTS website also seems even more depressing, with the soonest in February. So, does anyone know of private testing facilities where I can pay to take these sooner? I want to apply soon, they will not budge for me, and I cannot avoid it despite it being superfluous.
Hey buddy,
the problem is that the IELTs is offered and administered by the British Council authorities and what they say is the rule. No other institutions are allowed to impart these tests, as this is a national and standard examination.
On the other hand, why not try and register for TOEFL ibt. I heard there are examinations every week/bi-weekly or so. And the plus point is that there are lot of test centers in Qatar, it would guaranteed that you would get a seat as soon as possible. TOEFL ibt test scores are also reported quicker than IELTs, at least that's what I heard.
