Can I combine results from more than one language test?

Dear all,

I'm targeting a score a CLB 9 on all the four sections: writing, listening, speaking, reading. I took the test twice, in the first one I got CLB 9 or more on Speaking, writing, reading but on Listening section. In the second time I got CLB 9 on listening, reading, and writing but not on speaking.

I was wondering if I can submit both attempts results, so as to have CLB 9 on all sections.
In another words, does CIC accept the maximum score on each section from more than one test results?


Thank you!

No - you absolutely cannot combine test results from multiple tests. You have to use either one test or the other.

I appeared twice for my IELTS exam. I have got better results in my first exam and it is still valid for 18 more months. Hope I can use my 1st test results.

Hey DelPiero07,

Please is there any where on CIC or OINP website where it says you can choose to use the better results. I have this same issue as @velu05 and I want to use results from my first exam.

Thanks

CIC says you need to submit valid test result. There is nothing on IELTS site which says that any subsequent test invalidates result of any test taken before.

As long as your test results are valid and haven't expired you can use them. You just can't combine test results.

Cheers ;)

PLEASE!
If you don't have any information, excuse rather than just posting based on assumptions.
IELTS Website/Records will always feature your recent test date and results.
Do not misrepresent your application by doing something silly.

If you can score better 1st time, I am sure you can do even better the 3rd time.

But you can use old test results in your immigration application provided those test results are still valid. You don't have to use your most recent test results.
