A TRF, as mentioned previously, is a copy of the IELTS test score of the candidate. The TRF can be obtained from the Test Taker Portal. If you take the paper-based test, you can obtain the form on the 13th day. Similarly, you can obtain your TRF after 3-5 days of taking the test if you take the computer-based test. There are two types of IELTS scorecards: Personal TRF and Institutional TRF.Â
The Personal TRF contains your individual band scores in the Reading, Speaking, Listening and Writing sections and the overall score. You should keep the copy safe, as you will get only one TRF. Apart from the online report, you will get the TRF via speed post or courier. You will receive the tracking number through SMS once it is sent.Â
When you apply for the IELTS test, you will be able to send your scorecard to five educational institutions for free. If you wish to send to more than five institutions, you will have to pay extra fees. You can learn more about the Additional Test Report Form (ATRF) as you read further.
You can send the TRF to your preferred educational institutions via overseas postage, courier, regular postage, or email. You will have to bear the overseas courier and postage charges. An IELTS TRF contains the following information.
-
Personal details of the candidate (name, date of birth, gender).
-
IELTS test centre numbers.
-
Test results in the Speaking, Reading, Writing and Listening sections, and the overall score.
-
IELTS TRF number.
