IELTS test dates 2026–2027: when is it held in Turkey?
Facts last checked against official sources on October 7, 2026.
Short answer
IELTS has no yearly calendar like ÖSYM’s exams: computer-delivered IELTS runs most days of the week in large cities and paper IELTS a few times a month. You see the dates by city on the IDP and British Council booking pages. The 2026 fee for Academic and General Training is in the TRY 12,000–12,210 range.
How to find a date
You can see available dates by city on the IDP and British Council booking pages. There are centres in İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Antalya, Bursa, Adana, Mersin and many other cities.
At IDP Turkey, booking closes 24 hours before a paper test and 3 days before a computer test. If you have an application deadline, plan the test at least 4–6 weeks ahead so there is time for a retake or One Skill Retake.
