IELTS FAQS

1. How long does the exam take? It takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes to finish the test.
2. What is the passing score for IELTS? There is no passing or failing mark. The score you will need to get will depend on the university, employer and/or country you wish to study or work in.
3. If I didn't get the score I needed to get, can I take the test again? Yes, you may take IELTS as many times as you like so long as you wait for 3 months before taking it again. It's the time thought to be necessary to improve your English skills and get a higher band score.
4. Does the result of the IELTS expire? Yes, the usefulness of the test result form you will receive after taking IELTS expires in two years.
5. Can I write on the question papers? Yes, you may, but make sure you don't take them out of the examination room.
6. When do I expect to get the results of my exam? You will get it 2 weeks after you have taken the test.
7. How do they computer the overall band score? You will receive a mark from 0-9 in the subtests. These scores will be added and then divided by 4 (because there are four subtests). Then, the fractional scores will be rounded up to the nearest x.0 or x.5 (with x.25 and x.75 rounded up). For instance, your overall band score is 6.125, this score will then be rounded down to 6. If you got 6.25 on the other hand, your score will be rounded up to 6.5.
