The IELTS Academic and General Training test results are reported using the same nine-band scale<\/strong>. \n\nYou can score whole band scores<\/strong> (for example 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) or half band scores<\/strong> (e.g. 5.5, 6.5, 7.5).<\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n\n

TRF shows a score for each of the four test parts (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking), as well as an overall band score, which is the average of the four component scores, rounded to the nearest whole or half band.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The component scores are weighted equally.<\/strong> If the average of the four components ends in .25, the Overall Band Score is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, the Overall Band Score is rounded up to the next whole band.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
