Enter your Listening and Reading correct answers and your Writing and Speaking bands to see each band and your Overall score. Leave Speaking empty to see the Speaking band you need for each Overall target.
That is why half a band in one skill can lift your Overall. Leave Speaking empty and the tool shows the minimum Speaking band you need for an Overall of 5.5 to 7.5.
Listening and Reading each have 40 questions, and the number of correct answers is converted to a band with a table. Listening is the same in both modules, but General Training Reading needs more correct answers for the same band — for Band 7, about 30 in Academic and 34 in General Training. The full table is in the IELTS band score table. These tables are approximate, and in the real test each boundary can move by a mark or two depending on the test version.
These two skills have no conversion table; the examiner marks four equally weighted criteria, so enter the band directly (for example 6 or 6.5). In Writing, Task 2 counts twice as much as Task 1. To estimate your Writing band, read the Band 7 Task 2 sample or have your answer marked with Task 1 and Task 2 correction.
