The provisional test is a test before the real thing hence your results are subject to how you perform on the real test day itself. The provisional is not a test conducted by IELTS itself. It is a test used by some organisation to prepare for the test.

On the real exam, you might not feel your possible best this might affect your marks. The real test might be harder than the provisional one or vice versa. So many things can affect your marks on that day.

My advice prepare well.

If you mean provisional like mock test conducted by a training center then for sure real test will be different.
Because REAL test is done by REAL IELTS examiners with REAL requirements.

Sorry , I txhink I was not clear with the ques. I was talking about the IELTS results that is available online on the 13th day after the actual exam. The British Council website says that the result is provisional. This is what I was talking about.Is it possible that the actual TRF you get is diff from this online result??

Well, then it is whole lot different story...

I think it will be the same. Because there is no reason to be different.
Probably they call them provisional only because they have not issued hard-copy certificate.

Dev D - Newbie,

There is no reason to call names. I guess, barsindoo, made an honest effort to answer.

If the person who posted the question doesn't have a problem, with his/her reply, I don't feel it is right for you to call names.

Mis-interpretation of post is common feature.

No one is diffusing a bomb with the responses from Forum Members. So chill !! Be nice to fellow members.

-Matlal

Deep, The site has a disclaimer in there website, maybe just to be in the safe side. But for me, I have taken IELTS 3X (expired,then take again) my result in the site is the SAME in the TRF.

hope to have help you. :D

It did happen to me once. Got higher marks in the certificate than online
When was this? I am hoping this will be the case with my results .. I gave the test on 29th July to my surprise I got 6.5 in reading even though I was confident that I would get minimum 7.5. I am waiting for hard copy to be sure the provisional is right
