How long is my test result valid for?
As with most English language qualifications, it is recommended that IELTS scores are only valid after a 2 year period if you can prove you have kept up your language level. It is at the discretion of the receiving institution if they wish to accept your results after this period. Please note we can’t issue a Test Report Form on your behalf after the 2 year period.
