IELTS Band Calculator
Calculate your overall IELTS band score from your Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking scores, and see how it compares to TOEFL, PTE, and Duolingo.
How Your Score Is Calculated
Your overall IELTS band score is the average of your four section scores, each weighted equally, rounded to the nearest whole or half band.
40 questions across 4 recordings; your raw score out of 40 converts to a band via IELTS' official listening conversion table.
40 questions; Academic and General Training modules each use their own raw-score-to-band conversion table.
Rated by an examiner against 4 criteria: Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range & Accuracy.
A live or recorded interview rated against Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy, and Pronunciation.
How It Works
Enter your scores (0-9, in 0.5 increments) for Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
We add the four scores together and divide by 4 to get your average.
