Rechecking of IELTS Test (Enquiry on Results)
If a candidate is not satisfied with the IELTS band score, they have the option to apply for rechecking of their test. This process is officially called Enquiry on Results (EOR).

- Candidates must submit an EOR application form (available at the British Council or IDP office, as well as on their official websites).
- The candidate is required to attach the original Test Report Form (TRF) along with the fee deposit slip.
- The application must be submitted within 6 weeks (42 days) from the date of the test result announcement.
- The rechecking request can be made for one section or the entire test (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking).
IELTS Rechecking Fee
- Candidates have to pay a rechecking fee at the time of application.
- The fee is fully refunded if the band score changes after rechecking.
