Results and more information

You will get your IELTS test results based on which type of test you take:

Computer testThree to five days after your test
Paper test13 days after your test

You will receive an IELTS Test Report Form (or TRF) as official confirmation and proof of your test results. This can either be a paper copy or a digital version (eTRF). You can find out more information on understanding your results here.

One Skill Retake (OSR)
If you sit an IELTS computer test and do not get the score you require, you will be eligible for OSR. This means you will be able to retake the one skill you need to improve – either listening, reading, writing, or speaking. For more information, please contact us using the details below.
Complaints procedures 

Test Day Staff must receive complaints from candidates regarding their test on test day. You must complete a Candidate Complaint Form. IELTS will not accept complaints about the test after results have been released. Any complaints will be followed up within two working days by the Test Centre.

Cancellation/transfer policy 
If you transfer to a new test date less than six weeks before your booked test, there is a fee (outlined below). If you are sick on the day of the test and can not sit the test, you must provide the IELTS Centre with a medical certificate dated the same day as the test. 

Enquiry on Results (EOR)
If you are unhappy with your results, you may apply for a re-mark within six weeks of the test date. Your test papers will be re-marked independently by a senior examiner. You must return your original TRF to the Test Centre and fill out the request form provided upon request. The EOR Fee is $215, but you will get the money back if the score changes.

Extra Test Report Forms (TRFs) 
Candidates may request up to 10 TRFs for recognising organisations before the test free of charge. After sitting the test, additional copies have a fee (outlined below).
