IELTS

Your test centre will post it to your address, or sometimes you can pick it up in person. For paper-based test, TRF is ready in 13 days. For computer-based, it is available in 3 to 5 days.

You will get 1 original TRF for yourself. If you are applying to universities or visa office, IELTS can send up to 5 more copies directly to them for free. If you need more after that, you have to pay extra.

Some test centres send email or SMS, but some don't. So it's better to check yourself online on the day result is supposed to come.

The IELTS result can be checked online on the IELTS official website. Also, you will get a paper copy of your result, it's called Test Report Form (TRF). IDP will mail it to you or you can collect from the test centre.

While students get to attempt all the three parts of the PTE exam within a single sitting, the Speaking section of the IELTS exam needs to be attempted on a different day then the rest of its sections (or the main exam), and it can be taken within 1 week of the main exam. The overall duration of the PTE exam is also shorter than the IELTS exam, i.e. ~2 hours and 2 hours 45 minutes respectively.
