Learning about how much time is involved in Receiving IELTS Scores is helpful for a number of reasons. Primarily, knowing when schools will get the score reports will help test taker know when he/she should take the IELTS in order to meet application deadlines.

Receiving IELTS Scores
You will receive a Test Report Form which reports a score for each of the four skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking), as well as an overall band score.
Half band scores may be awarded to indicate a strong performance within a particular band. You can find more information on score processing and score interpretation at www.ielts.org/criteria.
Results will be available 13 days after the test. At some test centers, test-takers can collect their results on the 13th day.
At other test centers, results are mailed to test takers on the 13th day.
Test centers are not permitted to give results out over the phone or by scan or email.
You will receive only one copy of the Test Report Form.
It’s important that you keep it safe as replacement Test Report Forms cannot be issued.
Test centers will send copies of your Test Report Form to up to five organizations free of charge.
