If you have not received your results 13 days after the test, what should you do?

Typically, your test results send out as soon as they are released, which takes 3 to 5 days for Computer-delivered IELTS and 13 calendar days for Paper-based IELTS. Some test centres may offer the option for test takers to pick up their Test Report Form (TRF) directly from the centre. We recommend reaching out to your test centre prior to the result release to discuss this possibility.

In the event that you have been waiting for your IELTS TRF with your official result but have not received it, we advise contacting your test centre. While it is rare, there may be circumstances where IELTS results are delayed due to security and integrity considerations. If there are any concerns or suspicions of malpractice associated with your test, you will be notified that your results have been withheld. In exceptional cases, it may be necessary for you to retake one or more parts of the IELTS test.
