IELTS and UCAS

Hello there! I'm really sorry if this kind of thread has been posted before, but honestly I've been searching frantically and have not been able to find a similar one. I am an international student applying from Poland and I've encountered a problem with UCAS. This summer I took the IELTS exam which is mandatory for internationals, just to get it off my chest. I got my results, but I have no idea how to enter them into the online application form. Do I have to enter the exam centre and my band score under the 'Education' section? Or do I just supply my TRF Number in the 'Personal Details' section? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance :smile:

please anyone? :c
There is no special field for them but I think you can add it as a new qualification the way you add your schools and subjects, I hope you get what I mean. I'm not quite sure but I don't see a better option so that's what I'm gonna do. :smile:
P.S. I'm from Lithuania :smile:

That's what I was thinking too, but you can't add new qualifications without adding a new school or institution I think. I'm not going to put down my exam center as an educational institution since I was only there for one day. Do you think I should add it under the high school I was attending while taking the exam?

Yes. That's what I did with my music exam. However I don't think you have to put in IELTS in the qualification bit since it'll be part of the conditional offer.

Yeah, I'm still not sure what to do. Theoretically, there is a separate place to put in your IELTS TRF number inder the Personal Details section, but I can't be sure if that's enough to confirm I've taken the test. Maybe I'll call up UCAS or something. Thank you everyone for your help :smile:
