Always confirm the current fee
Fees differ slightly between the British Council, IDP, and IALF, and computer and paper are priced the same. From July 2026, payment in Indonesia is online only. IELTS fees are set locally by the British Council and IDP and can change, so the figures above (verified July 2026) are a guide — the only reliable amount is the one shown on the official booking page for your test type on the day you book.
The cheapest test is the one you sit once
Whatever the fee, it buys one attempt — so the smartest money is spent walking in already at your target band. Work out the exact section scores you need, then close the gap before test day rather than paying to sit again. And if you fall half a band short in a single skill on a computer-delivered test, the One Skill Retake is usually far cheaper than a full resit.
