IELTS is scored on a scale from 0 to 9, with each section (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) receiving a separate score. These individual scores are then averaged to calculate your overall band score, which also ranges from 0 to 9.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a standardized test used to assess the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers. It is commonly used for study, work, and migration purposes in English-speaking countries.
IELTS consists of four main sections:
This section assesses your ability to understand spoken English in various contexts.
The Reading section tests your ability to understand written English texts, such as articles and passages.
In the Writing section, you are required to write responses to tasks that test your ability to present and support an argument, opinion, or problem solution.
The Speaking section is a face-to-face interview with an examiner, where you discuss a variety of topics to demonstrate your speaking ability.
The overall band score is often used by institutions to determine your English language proficiency level. Different institutions and organizations have different requirements, so it’s important to check the specific score requirements for your intended purpose.
