What can I do if I am not satisfied with my test results?

You may apply for an Enquiry on Results (EOR) service up to six weeks after your test.  You must:

  • Complete an EOR Form (download here)
  • Prepare EOR fee amounting GBP 60 (in Philippine pesos, please check with the British Council for the prevailing rate).
  • Mail completed request form and the original test result form to our office together with a manager’s cheque payable to the British Council or
  • Visit our office for over the counter transaction

Please note that:

  • EOR fee for remarking is the same whether you request for a full or partial re-mark.  
  • All the required test scripts for the candidate, including the answer sheets and the interview tape, will be sent to British Council UK and will be remarked by a Senior Examiner
  • The procedure takes around 8-10 weeks.
  • There is no appeal on the EOR result and the decision of the Senior Examiner is final.

If the re-mark results show an increase in any of the band scores,  we will:

  • Issue a new TRF
  • Refund the EOR fee provided you surrender the original receipt. Processing of refund will take 10 working days upon receipt of the required documents.

If there is no change in the band score; no refund will be made.

Can I take the test again?

Yes, all candidates can re-take the IELTS regardless of when they last took the test.  The same registration requirements and  procedures apply.
