Test report forms
You will receive only one copy of your Test Report Form (TRF),
but IELTS will send a copy of your form to up to five institutions
or organisations free of charge.
The report form is a very valuable document and it is
recommended that you keep it safe and secure because it can not be
replaced.
The IELTS TRF includes:
- your score, on a Band Scale from 1 to 9, for each module of the
test
- your overall Band Score, on a scale from 1 to 9
- whether you have completed the Academic or General Training
module
- your candidate photo and details of your nationality, first
language and date of birth
Please note
- there is no pass or fail mark
- All modules are now reported in half bands.
- the results are recommended as valid for two
years.
The TRF, in giving a Band Score for each of the four modules of
the test as well as an overall Band Score, allows receiving
institutions to clearly identify your strengths and weaknesses.
Marking at the test centre ensures that test results are
available without any administrative delay.
A valid Test Report Form bears a centre stamp, candidate photo,
a validation stamp and the IELTS administrator's signature. Test
Report Forms are sent directly from the test centre to the
receiving institution or organisation. Photocopies will not be
accepted.
Test Report Forms will not be issued for tests taken more than
two years ago.
