Retaking IELTS
What can I do if I am un-happy with my results?
You may apply for an enquiry on results procedure within four weeks of receipt of your result (TRF). All the candidate's test material is re-marked. Please note there is fee of A$ 160 which must be paid prior to the processing of the appeal, i.e. along with the application. The fee must be paid by Demand Draft drawn in favour of "IELTS Australia", Payable at "Canberra, Australia". You can check with your nearest IDP: IELTS office for details and form.
Can a candidate retest only for the module where he / she did not score well instead of repeating the whole test ?
IELTS provides a profile of a candidate's English proficiency at a given time. It provides not only an indication of ability in a particular module but also an indication of overall ability. This would not be possible if modules were not taken at the same time. Stakeholders require an indication of proficiency at a given time. Stakeholders have expressed a preference for full re-testing to gain an accurate assessment of a candidate's language proficiency.
The nine bands and their descriptive statements are as follows:
9 Expert User
8 Very Good User
7 Good User
6 Competent User
5 Modest User
4 Limited User
3 Extremely Limited User
2 Intermittent User
