Understanding your score
When you get your IELTS test results you will be given an overall test score of between 0–9 on the IELTS scale. You will also get a score for each of the four sections of the test – Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The IELTS scale helps organisations understand your level of English.
Request a re-mark
If you are not happy with the result you have been awarded, you can request a review of your score. (Please contact your test centre to find out more.)
Resitting your test
If you did not receive the score you were hoping for, you can apply to resit your test as soon as you feel ready.
Retake One Skill
If you did not show your potential in one of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) on test day, IELTS One Skill Retake can help you get back on track by letting you retake just one skill.
IELTS One Skill Retake will be rolled out worldwide during 2023. Find out if your local test centre offers this today.
