Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 2

How do I request a remark?

Accepted Answer

To request a remark of your IELTS test, fill out the Request a Remark Request Form and submit it to the centre where you booked your test no later than 6 weeks after the test date.

Question 3

What happens when I get my IELTS test remarked?

Accepted Answer

When you request a remark, your Writing and Speaking Enquiry on Results (EOR) re-marking is completed by experienced senior IELTS examiners. 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).

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The Enquiry on Results (EOR) fee is SGD 185. If there is a change to your requested remarked score(s), you will receive a full refund of the EOR fee and a new TRF. You must return your original Test Report Form (TRF) if you have collected it prior on issuance of the new TRF.

Question 5

How long will it take to remark my IELTS test?

Accepted Answer

We understand you may need your IELTS results for study, work or migration. So, that’s why we do our best to re-mark your test as quickly as we can. Your EOR results are available within 2 hours 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.

Question 6

I received an outcome of my re-mark within less than 2 hours. Did someone look at my test?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we look at every single re-mark request. Even if your score did not change, IELTS will have re-marked your test. So, how come we can do this so quickly?
Of course, we understand you want an outcome as soon as possible. Writing and Speaking Enquiry on Results (EOR) remarking is completed by experienced senior IELTS examiners globally. Each senior examiner only marks one section of your test. Consequently, these examiners can mark different parts of your test at the same time. This process usually takes a few hours to a couple of days.
