you generate bank draft at any Zenith bank branch and take to the closest British council to you

How much is the fee presently.

I think it is possible to pay for it online, the offline option takes away the need to physically visit their office. If you choose to pay for it offline, get a bank draft of any bank, pay in favor of the British Council.

I did mine in June, got my bank draft from Access Bank since I already had an account with them. I paid 52k for the exam at the time.

Hope you find this information helpful.

If i pay in bank here in Benin city, how do I submit the bank draft? Thanks a million boss

If you do a bank draft, you would have to visit their office. If you pay online, you won't need to do a bank draft and you won't have to visit their office.

Thanks @Tej2. But I don't think online payment is enabled. Any idea as to that? Thanks I really do appreciate your contributions

Please find below what is written on their page.
Due to technical issues relating to online payment for IELTS test, we encourage candidates to pay offline for Standard IELTS, IELTS for UKVI and Life Skills test via bank draft raised in favour of British Council from any Nigerian bank.

Oh okay. Then you would have to do a bank draft. And submit at the nearest British Council office around you. I know there's one in Lagos, I assume there'd be one in PH, and another in Abuja. Benin is in the middle of them all, you can just decide to visit any of them.
You could go to Lagos, submit, and get back to Benin that same day, as long as you leave really early.

You are welcome. Good luck.
By the way, they also sell aids to help you study for the exam. As at the time I registered, they had two different ones. Each one was 4k. I don't remember the name of one I bought but I remember it had a red and white cover. It was really helpful.

The test was in two phases. The speaking test held first, about a week later, the other three tests were conducted.

IELTS tests your speaking ability, listening ability, reading ability and finally, writing ability.

During the test, there are breaks in between sessions, you can use the restroom or basically catch a break.

You would be given a headset for the listening test. And writing materials for the rest.

You can only go into the hall with your writing materials and international passport.

The result would be ready for collection about 3 weeks after the test. Although using your data, you can check it online even before the hard copy is available.

It is very helpful to get the learning aids. It prepares you immensely for the test.

Good luck.

After raising the bank draft, you don't have to physically visit their office; just make a photocopy of ur international passport, and put it in an envelope with your bank draft and send it to their ph office if they don't have an office in Benin (which I don't think they have) through dhl or ems, I'll recommend dhl tho since its faster, they'll confirm your registration as soon as they receive it.
As for preparation, download the edx app and register for the ielts training course there offered by university of Queensland or so, they don't only treat past questions there but they teach indepth on how to tackle the different parts of the test, and it's all free, offcos except for the data you use.
I hear roadtoielts.com is another good site for preparing.
Good luck!
