When will I get my IELTS results?
You won’t have to wait long for your IELTS test results. In fact, if you take IELTS on computer, your results will arrive typically within two days.
You can preview your results on the Test Taker Portal. IELTS results cannot be communicated by phone or email.
Depending on which IELTS test you have taken, you will get your results as shown below:
Test type | IELTS result time |
IELTS on paper | 13 days |
IELTS on computer | 1 - 5 days |
IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) | 1 - 5 days |
IELTS for UKVI Life Skills | 7 days |
Please note: If you have taken IELTS on computer, you will receive your results electronically only. You can download the electronic version (eTRF) from the Test Taker portal 3-8 days after your test. We will not issue an additional paper Test Report Forms. You can print your electronic Test Report Form (eTRF) to send it to the organisations you are applying to, or you can send it via email. Alternatively, you can send your results direct to the organisation through the Test Taker Portal.
