What happens when I get my IELTS test remarked?

When you request a remark, your IELTS test will be remarked by an experienced senior IELTS examiner who will see prior scores when re-marking - Writing, Reading, Listening and Speaking. Your test centre is then notified of the remarked result and if the mark has changed, you will receive a new Test Report Form (TRF).

When should I apply for a remark of my IELTS test (Enquiry on Results)?

The request for a remark must be made within 6 weeks of the date shown on your Test Report Form (TRF). You can request a remark on the whole test or any part of it (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking).

How much does it cost to request a remark of my IELTS test?

You must pay an enquiry fee, which is fully refunded if your band score changes. Contact your local test centre for more information about fees.

How long will it take to remark my IELTS test?

Your result will normally be available in 2 to 21 days, depending on several factors including the number of sections requested for remark. If you have not received a response after 28 days, please contact your test centre.

Should I apply for an EOR, or just wait to re-sit my test?

If you feel confident that you have done better than your score shows, applying for an EOR is one option for you. This is marked by a senior examiner who marks it independently from your first examiner. After this second assessment, your score either stays the same or is higher, depending on the senior examiner’s rating.

Why has my test centre sent me the result of my EOR, I thought IDP head office remarked it?

EOR requests and all IELTS test day matters are handled by your test centre. IDP responds to the EOR requests by using a team of senior examiners.
