Learn when and how you will receive your definitive results and your Test Report Form.
There are no restrictions on re-taking IELTS.
You can register for 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.
If you feel confident that you have done better than your score shows, you can apply for a re-mark (Enquiry on Results) by contacting us at ielts@certifyeducation.org.
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. If there are any changes to your original band scores, the test centre will issue a new Test Report Form (TRF).
You can request a remark within 6 weeks of the IELTS test date that appears on your Test Report Form. You can request a remark for the whole IELTS test or for one or more parts (Reading, Writing, Listening or Speaking). Your reviewed results will be available within 2 to 21 days of applying for a remark.
There is a cost of €125 for requesting a remark. If your band scores change, this fee will be refunded.
With IELTS One Skill Retake, you have the option to re-take any one section of the test (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) if you need to improve in just one area. We know most test takers get the scores they need the first time, but if you feel you haven’t performed to your best in all areas, IELTS One Skill Retake can help you get back on track.
It is available for both Academic and General Training IELTS tests.
If you decide to take IELTS One Skill Retake, you may like to spend some time to revisit your preparation programme. Improving your language ability is hard, but our team is here to support and advise you. Contact us at ielts@certifyeducation.org
Important
At present, IELTS One Skill Retake is only available on computer
You can only complete One Skill Retake once per full IELTS test.
You can take up to 60 days between your original test and your IELTS One Skill Retake.
You will receive your results within 3-5 days.
You will receive a new IELTS test report form, that includes your new One Skill Retake result. This Test Report Form will be dated the same as your original IELTS academic test.
The original Test Report Form will continue to exist alongside your new One Skill Retake score, and both are valid.
If you want to submit an Enquiry On Results (EOR) against your original full IELTS test, you must do so within two weeks of the date of the original full IELTS test date for Listening, Reading and Writing, and wait until you receive your remark status before registering for a One Skills Retake against the same full IELTS test.
Please read the IELTS One Skill Retake Terms and Conditions and the Cancellation policy here.
Remember to always check with the organisation you intend to apply for eligibility requirements for IELTS One Skill Retake. You can find out who accepts IELTS One Skill Retake here.
