[ajaypsdba]

Folks,

I need a clarification with regarding to spellings during writing part, can I use american english spellings during ielts like tire(tyre), mesmerized(mesmerised), favor(favour), color (colour) instead of british english.

Does using american english reduce my ielts score? please kindly share your experience or any pointers where I can get additional info related to this topic.

Appreciate it.

Thanks!

You can use either American English or British English spelling. It will not reduce your score.
