IELTS Results: Access your scores faster than ever

While most IELTS on computer tests results are available within 1-2 days, occasionally a test will need additional time to review to make sure your score is correct, and your ID details are correct.

If you have taken IELTS on paper, the results will be available 13 days after the written test. You may collect your Test Report Form by presenting the same identity document you did during the test. If you live outside of Tirana and want us to send your TRF via mail, please contact us at examsalbania@britishcouncil.org and send us your mailing address.

IELTS results will not be disclosed over the phone or through email.

If you want us to send another copy of your TRF to a recognising organisation, in addition to the five you entered on your application, you will need to pay an administration fee of 5 EUR per copy to send it via airmail.
