Interpreting Your IELTS Score
The following describes how to interpret your IELTS Score:
- Your overall IELTS band score is a reflection of your overall English language proficiency across all four sections of the test: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
- Band scores range from 0 to 9, with 9 being the highest score, indicating expert proficiency, and 0 indicating no proficiency.
- Each band score corresponds to a level of English language ability, from non-user (band score 1) to expert user (band score 9).
- Your overall band score is calculated by averaging the band scores you receive in each section, rounded to the nearest half band.
- For example, if you receive band scores of 7.5 in Listening, 8.0 in Reading, 7.0 in Writing, and 7.5 in Speaking, your overall band score would be 7.5 (7.5 + 8.0 + 7.0 + 7.5 = 30 / 4 = 7.5).
