IELTS Band Score Calculator

The IELTS Band Score Calculator is a tool that converts your raw test scores (number of correct answers in Listening and Reading) into the official IELTS band scale (0–9). It helps you estimate your overall band by averaging scores from Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.

The overall IELTS band is rounded:
.25 is rounded up to the next half band (e.g., 6.25 → 6.5).
.75 is rounded up to the next whole band (e.g., 6.75 → 7.0).
This rule is the same in Pakistan as in other countries.
