Let's begin with the fundamentals. IELTS is ranked between 0(the test was not attempted) and 9 (the consumer expert). No one takes IELTS for pleasure, so for a good reason you should take it. You may want to immigrate to a foreign country; you can apply for a university in the United Kingdom, the USA or Australia. In any case, the band score that you need to achieve is told by IELTS. Or online you can look at it.
For example, the university Web site tells you, if you would like to study Psychology at the University of Bath, UK: "Usually you would need: IELTS: 7.0 total, with a limit of 7.0 all components."
Therefore the first thing that needs to be found is that IELTS has no good ranking. You just need the number. If you're going to get it and you've been good, or you're not.
The following question is: "not less than 7.0 in all components." IELTS consists of four documents, as you already know: IELTS reading, IELTS writings, IELTS listing and IELTs speaking. You get an average score for each paper-again between 0 and 9-to get the overall band score. How is it like?
The total band score is the four-component average, rounded off with the next whole or half band. The parts are weighted in equal numbers.The overall band result is rounded to the next band half, and when the sum of the four components ends in .25, the Overall band score is rounded to the next band entirely. The total score is rounded down when the average finishes at a fraction below 25 or 75.
So, when you get readings 6.0, 6.5, 5.5 and 6.5, then you get 24.5. Divide by four and get 6,125. This means that your score is 6.0.
However, if you have 6.0 posted, this raises the total score to 25. Divide it into four and you will have 6.25 round to 6.5. That could change all this!
Maybe you have a new English exam test result already and want to send it and IELTS and find out where you are now. This online is easy to do. You will want to see IELTS-TOEFL cross reference in Google,
