How IELTS scores are calculated

IELTS exam score is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 9. You will be graded on your ability to read, write, speak, and listen. These points are then averaged to determine your overall score. Scores are always rounded to the nearest half-point.
Here we will explain what the various band scores represent and how to better understand your band score.

The overall band score:

The overall band score is calculated to the nearest whole or half band. If the average of the four skills – Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking – is less than.25, it is rounded up to the next half band. If the number ends in.75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.

Band 9:

“Expert user” You have a full operational command of the language. Your use of English is appropriate, accurate and fluent, and you show complete understanding.

Band 8:

“Very good user” You have a fully operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriate usage. You may misunderstand some things in unfamiliar situations. You handle complex detailed argumentation well.

Band 7:

“Good user” You have an operational command of the language, though with occasional inaccuracies, inappropriate usage and misunderstandings in some situations. Generally you handle complex language well and understand detailed reasoning
