Didn’t get the results you need?
We understand the frustration of not achieving your desired IELTS band score for employment, study or migration. Good news is you can request a review (also called an IELTS remark, or IELTS Enquiry on Result) within six weeks of sitting your test.
You may choose to have one or more test modules re-marked and the fee is AUD$199 regardless. We know how important this is to you, and we aim to get the remark to you as quickly as we can. Remarks may be completed within less than an hour or up to 21 days. If your result is changed to a higher band score you will:
receive a full refund
be issued with a new Test Report Form
This Enquiry on Results application form is only for test takers who have taken their IELTS test at an IDP centre**. If you have taken an IELTS test at another test centre, please contact them directly or contact us via live chat or the contact form.

If the result of the remark is not higher than your original results, you will receive an EOR letter stating your final result status. You should make all enquiries regarding the progress of your remark to your original test centre.
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. We aim to provide you with the outcome for your re-mark request within a couple of days, but sometimes it may take up to 21 days to receive your results.
Yes, we look at every single re-mark request. Even if you're 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. A team of senior IELTS examiners re-mark your test. And, 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 days. Getting results very quick is the same with computer-delivered IELTS.
A team of senior IELTS examiners will mark your test again. Of course, none of these examiners will have marked your original test. And, they also don’t know your original test score. That ensures it’s a fair re-mark.
IELTS relies on qualified IELTS examiners. They are intensively trained and monitored to ensure consistency and quality of marking, no matter where in the world the test is taken. For example, a minimum of two examiners will mark your Writing test, and sometimes even up to three or four – we do this to ensure the highest level of accuracy and fairness possible.
We ensure that delivery of the test is both consistent and secure through rigorous training and continual monitoring of test centres and examiners.
We make sure to assess Writing and Speaking tests fairly and consistently
The fee is AUD$199. You have to pay this at the time you submit your re-mark request. The fee is the same whether you ask us to remark all test modules, or just one. You will receive a full refund of the fee if your scores go up, and you will be issued a new Test Report Form.
