How long is the IELTS score valid?

According to the announcement in the IELTS Chinese official website, "IELTS test results are valid for 2 years from the date of the test. IELTS officially recognizes that the IELTS score is valid for 2 years. From the date of the exam, some official cooperation agencies of IELTS also clearly stated that the IELTS score is valid for 2 years.

The reason why it is two years is that the IELTS test is more used for studying abroad and emigrating, and living in another language country requires a certain language ability, that is, the ability to use English.

There are many IELTS tests every year, and candidates can apply for them many times, but the time interval between the two tests should be more than 7 days, so if you are not satisfied with your IELTS score, or the validity period of IELTS score is about to expire, you should register for reference in time.

Every IELTS test score is independent. Candidates can choose their most satisfactory IELTS test scores to apply within the validity period of their scores. However, different institutions have different IELTS requirements for application. Just in case, you should go to official website of various institutions first.
