How to Calculate Your IELTS Score (Band-Wise): With Real Examples

IELTS Score Structure and Scoring Criteria: The IELTS score is reported in the form of bands ranging from 0 to 9, covering all four modules. Each section is scored independently and contributes equally. Also, Listening and Reading are objectively scored, while Writing and Speaking are assessed qualitatively by certified examiners.

Band Calculation & Rounding Policy and Improvement Tips: The final band score is the mean of all four module scores, while official rounding rules apply.
