Is there a difference between IDP and British Council IELTS?

Hear from IELTS expert, Don, as he explains how there is no difference in IELTS test content and marking between IDP and British Council.

May be you should ask test-takers about that? Make a short survey. There are a lot of complains about biased attitude in Russian test-centers. Personally, I know 4 examples when people went abroad to take this test.

I took ielts academic in august and September through British council and IDP .

Exams are same, there is absolutely no different

I’d prefer prefer british Council because of the
following reasons :-
(1) Easy to apply online
(2) they will give your result which test form results ( hard copy for free ) while idp doesn’t give it hard copy anymore since February 2020
(3)Idp gives us only soft copy of our results

if there is no difference, then why I found a university only accepts IELTS result from British Council?

in Turkey Istanbul, IDP test centers r really good especially comp. base d ones, paper-based is nearly the same everywhere. Staffs r a bit rude but examiners r pretty well.

I wonder if listening tracks on Listening sections of IDP IELTS are not in Australian accent. Because I find Australian English pretty hard to comprehend.

Don says IDP examiners work in BC test centres. Great!

Which of these, idp uses for spell check - British, Australian or American English?
