IELTS scoring in detail
IELTS Academic and General Training versions are marked using the same 9-band scale
Calculating the overall band score
IELTS test takers receive a Test Report Form setting out their overall band score and their scores on each of the four components: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Each of the component scores is weighted equally.
The overall band score is calculated by taking the average of the total of the four individual component scores.
Overall band scores are reported to the nearest whole or half band.
The following rounding convention applies: if the average across the four skills ends in .25, it is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.
Some examples:
Listening | Reading | Writing | Speaking | Average score* | Band score | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Test taker A | 6.5 | 6.5 | 5 | 7 | 6.25 | 6.5 |
Test takerB | 4.0 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 3.875 | 4.0 |
Test takerC | 6.5 | 6.5 | 5.5 | 6.0 | 6.125 | 6.0 |
*Average score = total of the four individual component scores divided by four.

Band score boundaries Although all IELTS test materials are pretested and standards fixed before being released as live tests, there are inevitably minor differences in the difficulty level across tests. To equate different test versions, the band score boundaries are set so that all test takers' results relate to the same scale of achievement. This means, for example, that the Band 6 boundary may be set at a slightly different raw score across individual test versions. |

The Academic and General Training papers are graded to the same scale. The distinction between the two modules is one of genre or discourse type. Academic papers may contain source texts featuring more difficult vocabulary or greater complexity of style. It is usual that, to secure a given band score, a greater number of questions must be answered correctly on a General Training Reading paper.
