When will I get my results?

Results are issued within 14 days after the main exam date.

Unfortunately results cannot be given over the phone, by fax or e-mail, and we are only allowed to give one certificate to each student. Candidates can pick up their results in person. When the results are available we will call you; to collect your results you simply need to bring your identification document.

In addition to the certificate given to the candidate, candidates can request on their application forms (Section 24), that up to 5 copies of the results be sent to receiving institutions. Receiving institutions are local academic institutions (e.g. universities) and overseas institutions not registered to view candidate results online. Registered Institutions only receive results online; a list of institutions that can access results electronically can be found on the IELTS website. Unfortunately we cannot send to local institutions or departments (e.g. immigration agents).

What will happen before the Exam?
Candidates will receive notification/confirmation either by e-mail or telephone at least a week before the exam date.
In the event that you do not receive the notification, please contact the British Council office where you registered.
How do I prepare for the exam?
You can familiarise yourself with the IELTS Exam by purchasing the preparation pack from our office which contains a sample exam and a listening CD.
What should I take to the exam?
Proof of your identity which is the same as the identity information you provided on your application form. It must contain a number, a signature, a date of birth and a photograph.
If you are taking the exam in another country you need to also bring your passport.
The pens, pencils and erasers which you need for the exam.
Bring an accurate watch along with you too so that you can keep track of the time.

Please note: If you do not have the correct identity information you will not be able to take the exam.

Make sure you arrive on time so that you have enough time to get comfortable.
