How long is IELTS valid?

IELTS is valid for two years, counting from the test date.

The Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy will send the results report to the place designated by the candidates within two years according to the requirements of the candidates. In other words, the examination department believes that the results are valid for two years. However, the use of subunits has its own regulations. For example, the validity period of IELTS in British universities is one year, and the Australian Immigration Bureau recognizes IELTS within three years. Therefore, the so-called "validity period" should be based on the provisions of the unit of use. If you are in Australia, the Immigration Department will approve your application within three years.

IELTS scores have passed the validity period and need to be retaken. IELTS scores are valid for two years from the date of examination, but they are not fixed, because some colleges, embassies or institutions have different specific requirements for candidates. What students need to do is to get in touch with the IELTS score receiving institutions such as the applicant universities, institutions or embassies to ensure that their IELTS scores meet the requirements. But what is certain is that it is basically effective within two years.

Matters needing attention

1. You can't take the IELTS test without an exam registration card. If you lose it before the exam, you can use the documents allowed by other IELTS test sites or apply for temporary id card.

2. contraband, this range can be large. Simply put, you can't bring anything except what you are allowed to carry. The IELTS test center specifically mentions electronic devices such as mobile phones and other personal items, and there is no need to bring your own stationery.

Many students ask if they can bring their own pencils and erasers. Is this pencil the standard pencil for the 2B exam? You don't need to consider these, because the pencils provided by the examination center are all the ones that lay eggs, that is, one pen has multiple refills, which can fully meet the needs of the IELTS test.
