How we work this out
What it does
Enter your test day and deadline to see when IELTS, TOEFL or OET results should arrive, and the latest test day that still fits.
IELTS on computer, IELTS Online, IELTS on paper, IELTS One Skill Retake, TOEFL iBT from 21 January 2026, and OET on computer, at home and on paper.
Method
- We add each provider's own stated release time, in calendar days, to your test day (for OET, the day you finish all four sub-tests).
- With a deadline, we take off the days your university or authority needs to receive the result, then compare that date with the end of the stated window.
- The latest test day is your 'need by' date minus the end of the stated window.
