We understand the frustration of not achieving your dream IELTS band score for work, study, or migration.
Good news is you can request a review (also called an IELTS remark, or IELTS Enquiry on Result) within 6 weeks of sitting your test by contacting the IDP test centre where you took your IELTS test.
If you apply for an Enquiry on Results, your test will be remarked by a senior IELTS examiner who will not know your original band scores for each part of the test.
You can request a remark for the whole IELTS test or for one or more parts (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking). Your reviewed results will be available within 3 to 21 days of applying for a remark.
There is a cost for requesting a remark. If your result is changed to a higher band score, the fee you paid will be refunded and a new TRF will be issued.
IELTS Candidate satisfaction is valuable to us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Ask IELTS
When you request a remark, your IELTS test will be remarked by an experienced senior IELTS examiner who is not aware of the original marks awarded for each part - 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).
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).
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.
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.
There is no limit on how many times you can take the IELTS test. It is recommended you do additional study and preparation before retaking the IELTS. Check out our preparation section for a wide range of helpful preparation materials or contact your local test centre for more information.
If you are not happy with your IELTS result and request a remark, your score can only remain the same or go up. We do not reduce your score. If your score goes up, the fee you paid to request a remark will be refunded.
