IELTS BAND SCALE
There is no pass or fail mark. Scores are given on a Overall Band Score of one to nine.

Different institutions have their own entrance requirements and may require minimum scores in particular modules. In general, universities request an Overall Band Score of 6.0 or 6.5 for entrance to academic courses. You are advised to check the score required by the particular institution to which you are applying.

TEST REPORT
Scores are recorded on an official Test Report Form, showing overall ability, as well as performance in listening, reading, writing and speaking.

The IELTS Test Report Form must be collected personally 13 calendar days after your test. We do not send the Test Report Forms. If you are unable to collect the Test Report Form, you may authorise a friend or relative to collect on your behalf. Please download a copy of the IELTS authorisation form (18 KB) here. Uncollected Test Report Forms will be destroyed after one year.

We will give you only one copy of the Test Report Form. As part of our service, we can send you five extra copies on your behalf to institutions via registered mail if you request this on the application form.

If you require more than five extra copies to be sent to institutions, or your request is made after the date of the exam, you will need to pay RM20.00 each copy of the Test Report Form

The exam has two-year validity.

ENQUIRY ON RESULTS (EOR)
If you are not happy with your results, you may wish to apply for an Enquiry on Results (37 KB). You must do this within six weeks of the test date. There is a standard fee of RM435.00 for the test paper to be re-marked. The fee will be fully refunded if your score changes to a higher band score.
