Providing innovative and personalised IELTS resources exclusively for British Council IELTS test-takers
KUALA LUMPUR, 31 JULY 2023 – British Council IELTS launches a new service, IELTS Ready: Premium, providing innovative support for those preparing to take an IELTS test with the British Council.

Test takers can perfect their IELTS preparation with practice tests in both timed and untimed formats, with all answers analysed to inform the most useful exercises for test- takers to practice.
The IELTS Ready: Premium platform is powered by Guided e-Learning (GEL), a leading provider of digital learning in English Language Teaching based in London.
Test takers will also be able to access:

Test takers receive unlimited free access to IELTS Ready: Premium from the time they register for IELTS with the British Council up to their test.
During a successful pilot period, the platform achieved high levels of user satisfaction and engagement amongst test takers. 97% of users said it helped them achieve their desired score and 98% said they would recommend the service to others.
Andrew Mackenzie, Director of IELTS at the British Council, said: “We want to give our IELTS test takers every tool we can to achieve their ambitions of living, working, or studying overseas. We are therefore excited to launch IELTS Ready: Premium, to help them feel fully prepared and have the best chance to fulfil those dreams.”
