How is ielts scored?
IELTS results are reported on a nine band scale. In addition to the score for overall language ability, IELTS provides a score in the form of a profile for each of our four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking). These scores are also reported on a nine band scale. All scores are recorded on the Test Report Form along with details of the candidate’s nationality, first language and date of birth. Each Overall Band Score corresponds to a descriptive statement which gives a summary of the English Language ability of a candidate classified at that level.
