How IELTS scores are calculated
Each section is scored on a band of 0 to 9. The overall band is the average of the four, rounded to the nearest half band. Most universities ask for 6.5 overall with no section below 6.0; top universities often ask for 7.0 or more. Read our guide: how your IELTS band score is calculated.
