Hi there ,

IELTS has for the section that consists of listening, reading, writing, speaking and each section is scored from 1-9.

The average of all the four band scores is your overall score. Now, individual section band scores can range anywhere between 5.0 to 7.5

Let's assume a scenario below: suppose your band score for each section is:

Listening: 6.5

Reading: 6.0

Writing:6.0

Speaking:5.5

The overall band score average of all these will be 6.

I suppose your average comes out to be 6.125, overall band scores will still be taken as 6. If it is 6.25, overall will be 6.5, if it is 3.875the, the overall band score will be 4.

So what should be a good IELTS score?

IELTS tests your English proficiency and anything above 6 is a good score.

Score-Remarks

A score of 9 makes you an expert.

8-Very Good

7-good

6-competent

Anything below 6 depicts that you have limited English skills.

So give your best and try to score above 6.
