[h=1]IELTS Test Report Form[/h] The Test Report Form shows your IELTS scores for all four skill areas: listening, reading, writing and speaking, and your overall band score.
You will receive only one copy of your Test Report Form. Replacements cannot be issued, so make sure you keep it safe.
It also has your photograph on it and an inbuilt security system so that it cannot be copied.


[h=2]Five copies free of charge[/h] Your test centre will forward copies of your Test Report Form to five recognising organisations for you free of charge. You will be asked to name these five when you book your test. They will be sent electronically, so in some cases your chosen organisations will receive your results before you do.
Your recognising organisations can also double-check the details of your Test Report Form via our secure online database.

If you would like extra copies sent to other organisations, ask your test centre.


Your Test Report Form is a valuable document; keep it safe.
[h=2]Valid for two years[/h] Your Test Report Form will be valid for a recommended period of two years.
Recognising organisations will not usually accept a Test Report Form that is more than two years old, unless you provide evidence that you have actively maintained or tried to improve your English since taking the test.

[h=1]Common European Framework equivalencies[/h] Relating IELTS scores to the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).


The chart illustrates how the IELTS band scores map onto the CEFR levels. The mapping is based upon a growing body of research, combined with long established experience of test use within education and society, as well as feedback from a range of test stakeholders regarding the uses of test results for particular purposes.


Work continues to refine our understanding of the relationship between IELTS and the CEFR levels. Please note that the band scores referred to in both tables are the overall scores and not the individual Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking scores.


The table indicates the IELTS band scores we expect to be achieved at the threshold of each particular CEFR level.

[h=1]IELTS band scores explained [/h] You will receive a Test Report Form setting out your overall band score and your scores for each of the four parts of the test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.


Scores for each of the four parts are equally weighted. The overall band scores are calculated by taking the mean of the total of the scores of the four individual parts.


Overall band scores are reported to the nearest whole or half band. For the avoidance of doubt, the following rounding convention applies: if the average across the four skills ends in .25, it is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.


Thus, a candidate achieving 6.5 for Listening, 6.5 for Reading, 5.0 for Writing and 7.0 for Speaking would be awarded an overall band score of 6.5 (25 ÷ 4 = 6.25 = Band 6.5).


Similarly, a candidate achieving 4.0 for Listening, 3.5 for Reading, 4.0 for Writing and 4.0 for Speaking would be awarded an overall band score of 4.0 (15.5 ÷ 4 = 3.875 = Band 4.0).


However, a candidate achieving 6.5 for Listening, 6.5 for Reading, 5.5 for Writing and 6.0 for Speaking would be awarded band 6 (24.5 ÷ 4 = 6.125 = Band 6).

Taking the test again and again will not improve your results unless you work on the weaknesses identified in your test report form. You need to

  • review your preparation activities
  • consider how you performed on the test day
  • consider taking a course to improve your English in an area of weakness
  • once you are ready, book a new test
[h=2]How did you prepare last time?[/h] Think about how you prepared for your test. Did you do enough?
To improve your score next time, make sure you

  • understand your IELTS score
  • understand the test format
  • try our free online sample tests
  • read our tips on how to succeed
  • practise your English at home, at work, or at university
  • listen to English on radio and television
  • read English newspapers and websites
  • practise using British Council online IELTS resources
  • use IELTS preparation materials
  • subscribe to the Road to IELTS online preparation course
IELTS is a test of English language proficiency, so you need to work on all skill areas to maintain and improve your English.

  • become more confident in your test-taking skills
Your teacher may be able to advise you about your skill level and whether you are ready to re-take your test.
