Do candidates receive immediate results after taking the DLAB?

Candidates do not receive immediate results after taking the DLAB because the test is designed to assess language learning potential through a variety of complex language tasks. After the completion of the test, the responses need to be analyzed and scored by trained evaluators to ensure accuracy. This process can take time, typically resulting in the official scores being provided later, rather than immediately. This allows for a thorough evaluation of the performance on all sections of the test, ensuring that the resulting scores reflect the candidate's aptitude for language learning clearly and comprehensively.
