IELTS EOR: Your Guide to Re-Marking Your IELTS Score

Unsatisfied with your IELTS score? IELTS EOR is there to your rescue. You can improve your final results by requesting a meticulous review of your exam within six weeks after the test date. This exclusive service offers a targeted re-evaluation of specific sections, providing clarity and the chance for a score boost. This article discusses everything about the IELTS EOR in detail so that you can make the most of it.

When to Request  IELTS EOR

If you're not satisfied with your IELTS test results, you have the option to request an Enquiry on Results (EOR) within six weeks of your test date. This means your test will be re-marked by Senior Examiners at the head office of IDP: IA, the exam conducting authority.

  • You can choose which parts of your test you want re-marked, and the fee remains the same regardless.
  • Trained clerical markers and senior examiners handle the re-marking process.
  • IDP: IA Head Office typically notifies your test center of the re-mark result within 21 days after receiving all exam materials.
  • You'll receive an EOR letter stating the status of your final result.
  • For updates on your re-mark progress, contact your original test center.

If your result improves to a higher band score after the re-marking, you'll get a complete refund of the EOR fee.

Steps to Filling out the Enquiry on Results Form (EOR)

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to request a re-marking for your IELTS exam:

  • Step 1: Click the link and fill out the form to ask for a review of your test. Specify which parts you want rechecked.
  • Step 2: You'll get an email with an invoice within 2 business days. Follow the email instructions to pay quickly.
  • Step 3: Once you've paid, senior IELTS examiners who haven't seen your test before will review it.

Note: It usually takes 2 to 21 days to recheck, depending on what you've asked for. You'll be told the results as soon as they're ready.
