How is the IELTS overall band score calculated?
It is the average of your four section scores, rounded to the nearest half band. An average ending in .25 rounds up to the next half band, and one ending in .75 rounds up to the next whole band.
Is the raw score converter exact?
No. IELTS bands for a given raw score vary slightly between test versions, so the converter shows an approximate guide only.
