Access results online now

The provisional online test results are not considered formal advice of results and must not be considered as the final test result and cannot be used to support any applications, test takers make to recognising organisations.

Results will be mailed directly to the New Zealand or overseas address you supply in your test application form.

Test results mailed to addresses in New Zealand are sent by standard New Zealand Post services and usually take 3-6 business days.

If you would like your test results posted to an address overseas you will need to supply your test centre with a pre-paid envelope. Please write the address where you would like your test results sent on the envelope and give it to the test centre on or prior to the test day. The address must be written in English as well as the language used where the envelope will be sent.

Can you send the results to my email ID?

No. We are unable to share results via email or phone.

Do you send results by SMS?

In some instances, your IELTS Test Centre will offer you to receive your provisional IELTS results direct to your mobile phone by text message. If you want to know if this option is available, please check with your test centre before your results are released.

Can I collect my IELTS results from the test centre?

You may have the option to pick up your Test Report Form from the test centre on the results release day.
Please check with your test centre first.

There is an error on my Test Report Form, how can I get it corrected?

If there is an error on your Test Report Form, please contact your IELTS test centre. The test centre will re-issue a new Test Report Form.

How is IELTS marked?

Unlike other English tests, the IELTS test relies on human input to assess your English. There is, however, a firm structure and process around this to ensure the marking is consistent no matter where in the world you take your IELTS.
A minimum of two expert markers look at your writing and they follow detailed assessment criteria that dictate how they must grade your skills. There is also a strict monitoring process in place to further ensure marking quality and consistency, as well as ongoing training provided to our examiners, globally.
For more information about marking and band scores click here.

Is there room for human error in the marking process?

We see the human aspects of IELTS as being equally reliable as a computer-based marking and in some cases even advantageous to you as a test taker.

In the IELTS Speaking test, for example, the examiner is listening to your level of skill and will adjust the level of difficulty of the questions to enable you to best demonstrate your ability. They can adjust their pace to suit you, and you can ask them to clarify or repeat a question. While you are responding, there is no limit or pressure, waiting to cut you off. These are aspects of IELTS that are not part of other English tests.

How do I request a re-mark?

You may request a test remark by applying for an Enquiry on Results with your Test Centre, within six weeks of sitting your test.

Please contact the team at IELTS Customer Service for more information.

Should your band score increase, the cost will be refunded in full and a new Test Report Form will be issued.
