    About IELTS Preparation

    The IELTS test is scored on a band scale from 1 to 9, reflecting your level of English proficiency. Each of the four modules—Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking—is scored individually, and then the average is calculated to form your overall band score.

    Band Descriptors:
    • Band 9: Expert user
    • Band 8: Very good user
    • Band 7: Good user
    • Band 6: Competent user
    • Band 5: Modest user
    • Band 4: Limited user
    • Band 3 and below: Extremely limited to non-user
    Each module is scored in whole or half bands (e.g., 6.0, 6.5, 7.0), and the overall score is the average of all four modules, rounded to the nearest half band.

    Example:
    • Listening: 7.0
    • Reading: 6.5
    • Writing: 6.0
    • Speaking: 6.5
    • Overall Band Score: (7.0 + 6.5 + 6.0 + 6.5) ÷ 4 = 6.5 Understanding the scoring helps you set realistic goals and track your progress. At Meta Expert, we guide you every step to achieve your desired score!
