EOR in IELTS stands for Enquiry on Results. It is a formal process that allows candidates to request a re-check of their IELTS score if they believe their result does not reflect their true performance.
EOR is commonly used when students are very close to their required band score, especially for Writing or Speaking.
What Does EOR Mean in IELTS?
EOR (Enquiry on Results) means:
- Your IELTS test is re-evaluated by senior examiners
- Original scores are temporarily locked
- Final result may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged
Most EOR score changes happen in the Writing and Speaking modules.
Which IELTS Modules Can Be Reviewed?
You can apply for EOR for:
- ✔ Listening
- ✔ Reading
- ✔ Writing (most common)
- ✔ Speaking (most common)
- ✔ All four modules together
When Can You Apply for EOR?
- Within 6 weeks (42 days) of your IELTS result date
- Applies to both Computer-based and Paper-based IELTS
IELTS EOR Fee (Bangladesh)
- Approximate cost: BDT 15,000 – 18,000
- Refunded fully if your score increases
- Not refunded if there is no change
Is IELTS EOR Worth It?
EOR is worth applying if:
- You are 0.5 band short of your required score
- Your Writing or Speaking felt much better than the score
- You need the score for a visa, PR, or university deadline
Not recommended if you are 1.0 band or more short
How Long Does EOR Take?
| Test Type | EOR Processing Time |
| Computer-based IELTS | 2–7 days |
| Paper-based IELTS | 2–21 days |
Chances of Score Increase After EOR
| IELTS Module | Probability of Score Increase | Remarks |
| Writing | High (65–75%) | Subjective marking increases review success |
| Speaking | High (60–70%) | Examiner judgment can vary |
| Listening | Low (20–30%) | Machine-checked, fewer errors |

Most successful EOR cases result in a +0.5 band increase.
