How it works

  • Choose Listening or Reading (Academic or General Training).
  • Enter how many answers you got correct out of the total questions.
  • See your estimated band using the same style of raw-score table used in practice scoring.

Why this section matters

Many applicants guess whether their practice scores are "good enough" and book expensive official tests too early. A structured score conversion tool surfaces gaps by section before you commit to a test date—especially when immigration rules use per-skill minimums rather than one overall number.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating calculator output as guaranteed admission or visa approval.
  • Entering Academic IELTS scores when the tool expects General Training or PTE Core mappings.
  • Ignoring per-skill results when only the overall looks sufficient.

Your prep path

  1. Gather your latest practice or official section scores.
  2. Open the IELTS Band Score Calculator widget on this page.
  3. Enter scores exactly as reported on your score sheet.
  4. Compare results to your target CLB, band, or program minimum.
  5. If one section is below target, prioritize that skill in timed practice.
  6. Re-run the tool after mocks to confirm improvement before retaking.
