Test Score Tracker
Keep every attempt as the test body reported it — score, section scores, test date and a private note. Each test shows the validity rule its body publishes, or a plain note where we found none, and, where the body sets a fixed period or recommends a maximum age, an “on or about” date for each attempt. Readiness lists what our profile of each university on your shortlist for the chosen destination names and, for each test the tracker records, whether you have a score on record; anything else is shown as the profile words it, to confirm on the university’s own page. The tool never combines, converts or judges a score, and never says whether a score meets a requirement.
What it does
Every attempt, as received
Record each score exactly as the test body reported it — total, up to 6 section scores, the test date and a private note. Nothing is combined, converted or ranked.
Official validity rules
For every test you record, the rule its test body publishes — or a note that we found none — with its official source and the date we checked it; under each attempt, a date where the body sets a fixed period from the test date or recommends a maximum age.
Readiness for your shortlist
For each university in your Application Planner for the chosen destination: the admission requirements our profile of it lists, and — for each test the tracker records — whether you have a score on record. Presence only — never a verdict.
Private, portable, yours
Scores are private to your account, follow you to every device, download as a CSV or a printable report and PDF, sit in your data download and are deleted with the account.
How it works
- Pick a test used in your destination — or any other — and type the score as you received it.
- The validity rule from that test body is shown with the score, and linked.
- Readiness lists the tests your shortlisted universities name, and which you have not recorded.
Good to know
- We never say whether a score is enough. The tool records what you enter and shows which listed tests have a score on record. Whether a score meets a programme’s requirement is decided by the university, on its official requirements page.
- Validity rules are summarised in our own words from each test body’s own page, linked and dated. A date is printed only where the body states a fixed period from the test date, or recommends a maximum age for a result (IELTS — counted here from the test date, so treat it as approximate); where it counts differently (from the result announcement, in testing years, per admission cycle) you see the rule in words instead. Universities may set their own recency rules — confirm with each one.
- Scores are private to your account, in your data download, and deleted with the account. Please keep registration numbers, dates of birth and ID numbers out of notes. Accounts are for people aged 18 or over — see the Privacy Policy.
Validity rules, as published by each test body
What each test body publishes about how long its result counts, for the 53 tests the tool tracks — in our own words, with the official page or document it comes from and the date we checked it. Where a body publishes no rule, we say so and link the official page we checked rather than repeat what is commonly claimed. Rules change — check the source before relying on one, and remember that a university can ask for a more recent score than the test body requires.
