Who Can Request a Rescore
- You can only request a rescore for your most recent test attempt.
- You cannot request it if you have already scheduled another test.
- You also cannot request it if you have shared or sent your scores to an institution.
- Check the official Pearson page for the latest fee and window.
My Advice
Request a rescore only if your speaking or writing result looks far below your practice scores. Act inside the window and before you send scores anywhere, since sending them can end your eligibility.
