Overview
IELTS is one of the most trusted, widely accepted, and accessible English language proficiency tests in the world. It’s jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English. The test conforms to the highest international standards of language assessment. It covers the four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Candidates are advised to check with the Recognising Organisation about required scores. Please note that your passport is the only accepted form of ID.
Take IELTS on a computer to get fast online results in two to five days. You can access your IELTS results from your profile and send your results to institutions, at no cost. Find out more about why you should choose IELTS on computer here.
IELTS One Skill Retake
IELTS is the only major test to offer One Skill Retake (OSR). You can now retake any component of the test instead of redoing a full test. Learn more about OSR here.

Results and more information
You will get your IELTS test results based on which type of test you take:
| Computer test | Three to five days after your test |
| Paper test | 13 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.
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. Wintec accepts OSR for academic entry into programmes. For more information, please contact us using the details below.
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).
