IELTS for UKVI and Life Skills
You will receive one copy of your Test Report Form, or two copies if you are applying to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). You can arrange for your test center to post this to you, or you can pick it up in person.
Your results will also be available to view online for 28 days. (This should not be used as an official confirmation of your performance).
Your IELTS test center will provide you with a link to your results or you can view them via one of these websites:
You will need your passport or ID number (the same number you used when you registered for the test) and your candidate number. If you have any questions or problems, contact your test center.
When you log in to check your result using our IELTS online results portal using the link provided by your test center, you will now see a table with an explanation of your scores, and advice for improvement. This will be available to view, alongside your online results, for 28 days.
When you book your test, you can request to send their IELTS results to up to five organizations free of charge. Results can be sent to further nominated organizations for a small administration fee.
If you need to send additional IELTS results to organizations after the test date, then please contact your test center.
If your center has closed, you can ask for your IELTS result to be sent to your nominated organizations (by filling in the Application for additional TRFs (from closed centers) form). This service is available for up to two years from the date of your test date.
If you are not happy with your result, you can request a review of your score(s) through a service called an Enquiry on Results (EOR).
During the review process:
The request for a re-mark must be made at your test center within six weeks of the date shown on your TRF. You may ask to re-mark the whole test or any sections (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking).
You must pay an enquiry on results fee, which is fully refunded if your band score changes. Contact your test center for more information about fees.
Your result will normally be available in 2 to 21 days, depending on several factors including the number of sections requested for re-mark. If you have not received a response after 28 days, please contact your our test center.
