IELTS Results: Access your scores faster than ever

While most IELTS on computer tests results are available within 1-2 days, occasionally a test will need additional time to review to make sure your score is correct, and your ID details are correct.

If you have taken IELTS on paper, you will be able to collect your results from the British Council Tbilisi office (34 Rustaveli Avenue Tbilisi, 0108, Georgia) from 13:00, 13 days after the test date for the IELTS on paper test. Please remember to bring your ID card or passport with you on that day. If you are unable to visit our office in person, please contact us as there is a special 3rd party collection procedure in place.

If you live in another city or country and are unable to pick up your results in person, your certificate will be posted to you 13 days after the test date for IELTS on paper test by the DHL express post. In this case, the candidate should cover the courier fee which is approximately: Tbilisi – 5 GEL; Georgia – 15 GEL; Europe and USA – 170 GEL. 

You will receive one copy of the Test Report Form (TRF) and replacements cannot be issued.

If you have taken IELTS on computer or IELTS Online, you will receive your results electronically only. You can download the electronic version (eTRF) from the Test Taker portal 3-8 days (IELTS Online) and 1-2 days (IELTS on computer) after your test. We will not issue an additional paper Test Report Forms. You can print your electronic Test Report Form (eTRF) to send it to the organisations you are applying to, or you can send it via email. Alternatively, you can send your results direct to the organization through the Test Taker portal.

IELTS results will not be disclosed over the phone or through email.

Institutions need original copies of your Test Report Form. Photocopies will not be accepted.

We can send up to five additional copies of your TRF directly to institutions you are applying to (for instance universities, immigration officers, etc.) If you would like us to do this, please include the relevant addresses on the Test taker portal within two years of taking the test.

Please do not forget to give the full postal address of the institution. Without the complete address we are not able to check whether the institution has access to the IELTS Test Report Form Verification Service that allows it to view your results after we have submitted them electronically. In case they do not access this service, we will send your TRF by post. You will need to pay courier service fee per copy to send to international destinations via courier.

If you want us to send another copy of your TRF to a recognising organisation in addition to the five copies we provide, you will need to pay courier service fee per copy to send to international destinations via courier.

If your test centre has been closed, you can order additional test report forms from ielts.org. 

You will need to provide the institution’s address and fill in the Application for Additional Test Report Form. Attach a photocopy of your IELTS test result and passport to the application form and send this to us at exams@ge.britishcouncil.org. We will then send the TRF directly to the institution(s).

Please note that an additional TRF takes around ten working days to be processed.

You will be awarded an IELTS band score from 0-9 for each test section, which reflects your proficiency in English.

Your TRF shows a score for each of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking), as well as an overall band score. You can score whole band scores (for example 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) or half band scores (e.g. 5.5, 6.5, 7.5) in each section of the test.

Organisations will usually not accept your results if they are more than two years old, unless you provide evidence that you have actively maintained or tried to improve your English since taking the test. The IELTS Partners cannot confirm the validity of test results that are more than two years old.

If you did not receive the score you expected, you can apply for your test to be re-marked. This is called an Enquiry on Results (EOR). You can choose which test sections you want to be re-marked.

The fee for this service is 295 GEL, which will be refunded if your score is increased for any section of the test.

You need to apply for a re-marking no later than six weeks after the test date, regardless of whether you have taken IELTS on Paper or IELTS on Computer.

IELTS on Computer, IELTS on Paper, and IELTS for UKVI on Computer: You can submit and pay for an Enquiry on Results online from the Test Taker Portal.

IELTS for UKVI on Paper, and IELTS for UKVI Life Skills: If you have taken an IELTS for UKVI on Paper or IELTS for UKVI Life Skills test and would like to apply for an Enquiry on Results, please download the Enquiry on Results Form from the download section below and submit it to the test centre where you sat the test. Make sure you attach your proof of payment.

The outcome of Enquiry of Results (EORs) can become available on the same day as your application and up to 21 days after your application. The time it takes depends on several factors, including the number of sections you’ve asked us to re-mark. If you have not received a response after 21 days, please contact your test centre.

Please contact us for further information.

There are no restrictions on re-taking IELTS. You can book a test as soon as you feel you are ready to do so.

Please note that your score is unlikely to increase unless you make a significant effort to improve your English before re-taking the test. Visit the preparation section to take a practice test and assess your level.
