IELTS on Paper
Your IELTS scores will be available online 13 calendar days after your test. For IELTS on paper, you can not download your test report. You can either get the test report sent by post or pick it up, and you let us know on the test day. 

Electronic Test Report Form (eTRF) 

If you have taken IELTS on Computer in Denmark or Norway, you will receive your results electronically only. You can download the electronic version (eTRF) from the Test Taker portal. We will not issue an additional paper Test Report Form.

This does not apply to IELTS on Paper and IELTS Life Skills. 

Sending Results to Institutions

Please add the instution(s) in the Test Taker Portal to make your results available to a university or other institution.

If a University is not visible in the drop-down menu, this does not mean that they do not accept IELTS! It means that for some reason, they have chosen not to subscribe to the IELTS online system. Their application process may require you to upload a PDF and/or provide the number on your test report, and/or we may have to send them a hard copy.

If you are asked for the TRF (test report form) number, this is the number in the bottom right corner of your test report.

If you have any issues or questions please email ielts@edu-danmark.dk / ielts@edutesting.no

Often Asked Questions:

There is a mistake on my TRF, what should I do?

We use the information as stated in your passport. Should an error occur, please contact us on ielts@edu-danmark.dk / ielts@edutesting.no

Can I retake the test if I don't get the score that I need?

You can take the test as many times as you wish. However, it should be noted that to significantly improve a score it may be necessary to engage in further study. IELTS research indicates that scores are unlikely to improve dramatically without extensive English language tuition in the interim.

What if I am not happy with my results (Enquiry on Results)?

If you are not satisfied with your results, you have the option of applying for a re-mark of (parts of) your test. Requests have to be made within 6 weeks of the test date, our deadline for receiving payment and your application is some working days before. This process is called Enquiry on Results (EOR) and costs DKK 950 / NOK 1000. The outcome of Enquiry on Result (EOR) can become available on the same day as your application and up to 21 days after your application.

Should your score improve as a result of this re-evaluation, the EOR fee will be refunded to you and a new test report form will be issued after you have returned your original test report to us. If your result stays the same, you are not eligible for a refund. 

To request an EOR, log in to the Test Taker Portal, choose Your results & Tests, choose the test date. 

Can I retake one part of the test (IELTS One Skill Retake)?

For IELTS on Computer only, you can now repeat a single part per full test taken. This is called IELTS One Skill Retake. It must be taken within 60 days of the original test date.  You will receive a new e-Test Report Form and you can choose whether you use your original or your new Test Report Form. Make sure an OSR result is accepted where you want to apply. 

To request an OSR: 
DK: Contact the test centre at ielts@edu-danmark.dk to arrange a booking 
NO: Log in to the Test Taker Portal, choose Your results & Tests  If no dates are showing available, please contact us at ielts@edutesting.no, as we may have availability for candidates just retaking one component.
