Review of test results

A candidate may request a review of an individual band score and/or the overall score received on the Test Report Form.  The candidate must submit, in writing, a request for a review to the IELTS Test Administrator. This request has to be done on a special form called Enquiry of Results.

The request must be submitted within six weeks of the test date.

You must also include your original Test Report Form with your Enquiry on Results form.

The charge to have a review is $160.00 (money order or certified cheque, payable to Simon Fraser University, or cash, debit, credit at IELTS Registration Centre at Harbour Centre.) Please do not pay in GBP or AUS dollars.  This fee must be sent with the Enquiry on Results form.

All information related to the request for review is sent from the local test centre to IELTS Australia within one week of receipt. Candidates are advised that the review process may take 6 to 8 weeks of receipt of your request.

The review is conducted by a Senior Examiner. If the review results in no change to the score, the review fee will be charged and the candidate's test report form will be returned. If the review results in an increase to the score, the review fee will be returned and revised TRFs will be sent to the candidate and all receiving institutions.
