Always confirm the current fee
From 8 February 2026 all IELTS tests in Jordan are computer-delivered. The British Council's booking table lists IELTS Academic or General Training on computer at JOD 199, IELTS Academic Online at JOD 204, IELTS for UKVI at JOD 217 and UKVI Life Skills at JOD 143 — matching the official ielts.org listing for the Amman centre. One Skill Retake is offered on computer, but its fee is not published online, so confirm it — and the live test fee — with your test centre when you book. 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.
