How many times in one day can I take the IELTS computer-delivered test?
You can attempt the IELTS computer delivered test up to three times in one day, as long as seats remain available. Unlike the paper based version, this format runs every day of the week, so you have far greater flexibility when planning your test dates around application deadlines.
If your schedule is tight, you will appreciate that the IELTS computer delivered test lets you sit for it up to three times in a single day, provided seats are still open. This format runs all seven days of the week, unlike the more limited paper based option.

Why Choose the Computer Delivered Format
Since this version is open daily and even allows repeat attempts on the same day, it suits students who need a quick retake or who are working against a tight university deadline and cannot wait for the next monthly paper test cycle.
My Advice
Book your computer delivered slot as soon as your target date is finalised, since popular time slots in metro cities fill up quickly even with daily availability. Keep a backup date in mind in case your first choice runs out of seats.
