Yes, your IELTS score is valid for two years from the date of the exam. If you take the test in August, your score will be accepted for applications submitted up to August two years later. This validity period is standard but subject to change.

If you are targeting the UK September 2027 intake, taking IELTS in August 2026 will keep your score valid for admissions.
