First of all, we should know how long it takes to get the IELTS results.

If you have given your IELTS test on the computer which is the CBT (computer-delivered test), your results will come after five or seven days of your test. When your results become available, your test centre will notify you, and you will receive a link to view your IELTS scores.

If you have given the PBT (paper-delivered test), your results will come after 13 days from the day you gave your last test. On the 13th day after your test date, they will announce the result on their official website. Therefore, If you need a fast result for the IELTS test, you can opt for IELTS CBT.

IELTS students or candidates do get confused or worried if their IELTS results are delayed or withheld. We will talk about a couple of reasons for that.

As we all know, it usually takes 13 days for a result to be delivered for a paper-based test, whereas for a computer-based test, it usually takes from 3 to 7 days. However, in both cases, the IELTS results could be delayed so why is that?

You may wait 13 days after your test and your result will not be issued in the case the IELTS test partner decides that it is necessary to review any matter associated with your test to assist any investigation you may be required to provide a writing and speaking samples. However, it happens in exceptional circumstances and you can also be required to retake the IELTS test components but it happens quite rarely.

 So, we can say that there are two main reasons for that.

You may be required to retake one or more IELTS components if any irregularity is identified; your results might be cancelled and you might need to take your test again or part of your test again if there are any problems with your test. Irregularity means that something in your test management was not usual or not acceptable. This also means that if any information or data provided from you or your agent to the Recognizing Organization has been altered in any way, your original test result will be cancelled.  So be careful and provide the right information and only use reputable agents while booking your IELTS test.

Now, what can you do once your IELTS test result has been delayed? There is no fixed time limit for IELTS test results so just wait and be patient If your results have been delayed. Not all students receive their results within just one week or a couple of weeks, for some, it might be longer than a month or even three months. But usually, three months happen in a rare case where there is some kind of an issue with your test, test result, or the information you have provided at the time of registration.

However, can you take your test again?

Sure, you can take your test again in the meantime if you have not received your test result and once you have received the result of both the test, you can choose which one is the highest

and you can use that result as long as it has been accepted.
