Results will be produced 13 days after the test. Test centres are not permitted to give results over the phone or by fax or email. Replacement Test Report Forms are not provided in case of loss. A score is reported for each module of the test. The individual module scores are then calculated to produce an Overall Band Score. Overall Band Scores are reported in whole and half Bands for each module. Further information on score processing and interpretation is available on the website www.ielts.org/nepal

The IELTS modules have been designed to reflect accurately the candidate's abilities to deal with the English language. The design of the test makes it statistically unlikely that there will be a great variation in the module scores. In order to ensure that a candidate's IELTS results genuinely reflect that candidate's English language abilities, where there are exceptionally unusual patterns of module scores the modules will be marked again, and the IELTS partners may ask the candidate to re-take some or all of the modules. The candidate will not be charged for any such re-takes and the candidate will not be issued with his/her result until after the re-take.
