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 log in to the Test Taker Portal to preview your results. Your results will be available to view online after they are released, but should not be used as an official confirmation of your performance.

IELTS on computer 1-2 days
IELTS on paper up to 13 days
IELTS for UKVI up to 13 days
IELTS for UKVI Life Skills up to 7 days

Why haven't I got my result within 1-2 days?

While most IELTS on computer tests results are available within 1-2 days, occasionally a test will need additional time to review to make sure your score is correct, and your ID details are correct.
