Remarking 
Essential 
Guide
First of all, before we look at the process 
of requesting a remark, let’s briefly ask 
whether or not it is a good idea. The 
main thing is how far away you were 
from your target score. If you were more 
than 0.5 away, there is essentially no 
reason to apply for a remark. This is 
because IELTS examiners are carefully 
trained and will not differ with each 
other more than by 0.5 band.
If you are sure that you want to apply for a 
remark, then you must get in touch with 
the British Council or IDP, depending on 
who you took your test with. The process 
will be the same for either organisation.
All you need to do is fill in a request form. 
You should search for “Enquiry on Result 
Application Form” and then then download 
it from the official website. This must be 
submitted along with the correct fee. It is 
important to note that requesting a 
remark on your IELTS test results is not 
free. 
This whole process takes up to 
four weeks, depending on the 
number of modules that you have 
requested to be remarked but it 
may also be completed within 
just a few days. If you have not 
received your new score after 28 
days, you should get in touch 
with the appropriate test centre.
Three things will 
happen
In most cases, you will be assigned the same score. This is the harsh 
reality of IELTS. The examiners are well trained to give a fair grade, and 
even though you are unhappy with your result, it will be the one that 
all examiners agree upon.
You may even be given a lower score – however, in that case your 
grade would revert to the original IELTS band you had been given.
Very rarely, a person’s IELTS band score is increased after a 
remark.
