IELTS E-Downloads- Things to Remember

There are some things that you should keep in mind with regard to IELTS E-Downloads. They include: 

• For accessing new results of IELTS submitted to the institution, you should ensure that you regularly log in to the IELTS system. The scores in IELTS are not updated in the system automatically. 
• It is a good idea to make use of a wide and vast date range for showing all the new results each time that you log in to the IELTS system. This should be done irrespective of whether you have actually downloaded the dates earlier. Candidates may request for submission of results to the institution at any time between the two-year period of validity for their results. 
• Results of IELTS are usually released 13 days after the date of the test while the results require around 24-48 hours post the release of the result to be shown on the official website. 
• Candidates should request for their results to be sent to the institution via the testing center directly. If the results of any specific candidate are not shown in the file for e-download, there should be confirmation of the candidate listing the organization on the application for IELTS or submission of the request by the candidate via the testing center. 
• There has been the development of an interface for enabling the importing of IELTS scores into the PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 8.9 and 8.0 versions. The interface helps users readily download PeopleSoft projects for application onto PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. 
• The scores in IELTS may then be imported in a similar manner as other testing scores. 
• The photograph of the candidate is only available in the XML format and will not be transferred within any CSV download. The XML file photograph will be shown in the form of data that is encoded and will need a decoding algorithm for being viewed in the form of an image.
