How long ar my test results valid for?
IELTS recommends that the candidate’s language ability be re-assessed after two years from the date of the test or that a TRF which is more than 2 years old and submitted to an institution should only be accepted as evidence of present level of language ability if it is accompanied by proof that a candidate has actively maintained or tried to improve their English language proficiency. This recommendation is based on reseach evidence into the way learners retain their language skills, and is in line with other institutional tests.
