Test Results

Test results are not shown as a pass or fail. Instead, they are shown as a score from 15 to 50 for the Listening Section and 15 to 50 for the Reading Section, for a total score of 30 to 100 (in one-point increments). This score is not your raw score, or the number of correct answers. It is a scaled score, calculated using a statistical processing method called “equating.”

In addition to your score, please check your Score Range Descriptors (per-level assessment) and Abilities Measured (percentage of correct answers per skill).

Your Digital Official Score Certificate with your test results will be issued online 19 days after the test day. Also, you can see your results online 17 days after the test day. (Schedule may be delayed due to national holidays in Japan and the U.S.)
Your Official Score Certificate with your test results will be sent out by mail within 35 days of the test day. There will also be an explanation of how to read your scores. This will include data such as the number of people taking the test at the same time as you and the average score.
See below for results sending date.

You do not receive an Official Score Certificate within 40 days of the test date, please contact the IIBC Test Operation Center within 65 days after the test date. Any notice of undelivered certificate submitted later than 65 days after the test date will be considered a request for reissue and the fee for reissuing a Certificate must be paid.
