　　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 taker B	4.0	3.5	4.0	4.0	3.875	4.0
Test taker C	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.

　　Scoring: Listening and Reading

　　IELTS Listening and Reading papers contain 40 items and each correct item is awarded one mark; the maximum raw score a test taker can achieve on a paper is 40. Band scores ranging from Band 1 to Band 9 are awarded to test takers on the basis of their raw scores.

　　The tables below indicate the mean raw scores achieved by test takers at various levels in each of the Listening, Academic Reading and General Training Reading tests. They provide an indication of the number of marks required to achieve a particular band score.

Listening
Band score	Raw score out of 40
5	16
6	23
7	30
8	35

Academic Reading
Band score	Raw score out of 40

7	30
8	35

General Training Reading

　　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.
