Marking of IELTS test
is carried out at the test centre by trained examiners whose work is
closely monitored. This ensures that IELTS test results are available
without any administrative delay.
Results are available within two weeks of the test and Test Report Forms
are sent to the candidates and to the sponsor(s)/receiving institution(s).
Test centres are not permited to give results out over the phone, nor by
fax or e-mail.
IELTS Test Scores
IELTS provides a profile of a candidate’s ability to use
English. Candidates receive scores on a Band Scale from 1 to 9. A score is
reported for each module of the test. The individual module scores are
then averaged and rounded to produce an Overall Band Score. Overall Band
Scores and Listening and Reading scores are reported in whole and half
Bands; Writing and Speaking Band Scores are reported in whole Bands only.
Test Report Form
Each module is reported separately as a Band Score, together with an
Overall Band Score reported as a whole band or a half band.
A descriptive statement giving a summary of the English of a Band
candidate classified at each band level is provided opposite and is
included on the reverse of the Test Report Form.
The completed Test Report Form bears a centre stamp,a validation stamp,the
candidate’s photograph and the authorised centre representative’s
signature, and the authenticity of any Test Report Form can be verified by
Cambridge ESOL, IELTS Australia and British Council.
Cambridge ESOL, British Council and IDP:IELTS Australia reserve the right
to cancel any Test Report Form in the event of any attempt to tamper with
or miss use the information contained in it.
