Should I get my IELTS test remarked?

In the context of IELTS (International English Language Testing System), "remarking" refers to the process of requesting a re-evaluation or review of your IELTS Sri Lanka test results. If you are not satisfied with your test score, you have the option to submit a request to have your test paper(s) reassessed by the IELTS authorities.

 

Remarking is also known as "Enquiry on Results" (EOR). It is a service provided by the IELTS test centres, allowing candidates to challenge their scores if they believe there may have been an error in the original assessment.

 

Here's an overview of the remarking process in IELTS:

·      Requesting a remark: If you wish to have your test remarked, you need to inform the test centre where you took the test and request an "Enquiry on Results" form. There is typically a fee associated with this service, which varies depending on the test centre.

·      Remark application submission: You need to complete the Enquiry on Results form, indicating which sections of the test you want to be remarked. You can choose to remark one or more specific sections, such as Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking.

·      Remark assessment: Once the remark application is received, the IELTS authorities will assign a senior examiner to re-evaluate your test paper. The senior examiner will be different from the one who initially assessed your test.

·      Result notification: After the remarking process is complete, you will receive a new Test Report Form (TRF) with the revised scores. This new TRF will replace the original one. Note that the revised scores can either be higher, lower, or remain the same.

 

It is essential to keep in mind that the remarking process does not guarantee a score change, and the decision to get your score remarked is totally up to the student. The IELTS test is meticulously assessed, and the initial scores are generally reliable. However, if you believe there has been an error in the original assessment, you have the option to request a remark.

 

Students should also remember that test centres may have specific guidelines and deadlines for requesting a remark, so it is advisable to contact your test centre directly for accurate and up-to-date information regarding the remarking process.

 

One of the ways in candidates can ensure a high score in a single sitting is to follow IELTS classes conducted by experienced tutors or an IELTS course in Sri Lanka, that will prepare them on how to take the different components of the test.
