How do I get my IELTS re-marked?

Fees are set by country and centre. The British Council does not publish one global fee; it says fees vary by test centre (British Council). IDP India publishes the following 2026 EOR fees, including taxes (IDP India fee page):

Fees and policies are set per country and test centre, and they change. Check the page for the country where you will sit the test before you book or pay. This guide is general information, not official IELTS advice.

ielts.org says the fee is fully refunded if your band score changes (ielts.org). The British Council says it is refunded if your score improves in any section (British Council), and IDP India says you get a full refund if the result changes to a higher band (IDP India). If nothing changes, the fee is kept.

Anywhere from the same day you apply up to 21 days, depending mainly on how many sections you ask to be re-marked. If the mark changes, the centre issues a new TRF. If you have heard nothing after 21 days, contact your centre (ielts.org; the British Council gives 2–21 days, British Council).

Re-mark or retake? If you took IELTS on computer and one skill is clearly short, a One Skill Retake within 60 days is the other route; at IDP India it costs INR 12,650 against INR 14,250 for an EOR (IDP India). A re-mark only makes sense if you believe the marking, not your performance, was off.
