    How are IELTS Band scores calculated for each module?

    IELTS Listening Band Score Calculation

    IELTS Listening band scores depend on how many correct answers you get in the listening module. There are no negative marks in IELTS so only your correct answers are counted for calculating your band score in the Listening section. The approximate band score calculation is as follows:

    Correct Answers (out of 40)Band Score
    165
    236
    307
    358

    IELTS Writing Bands

    To better understand the level of performance required to secure a particular band in Writing, refer to the IELTS assessment criteria for Task 1 and Task 2:

    NOTE: In the writing section, task 1 and task 2 do not have equal weightage. Task 2 is worth twice the marks of task 1. Hence it is important to focus more of your effort on task 2 than on task 1.
