IELTS Raw Score to Band Converter
Enter your number of correct answers (out of 40) for Listening, Academic Reading, or General Training Reading to estimate your band score.
Note: this uses a widely published indicative conversion table. The official Cambridge Assessment English table can vary slightly between test versions, so treat this as a close estimate, not your official score.
Why Reading has two different tables
General Training Reading passages are generally considered easier than Academic Reading passages, so the conversion table requires more correct answers to reach the same band score. Listening uses one conversion table regardless of whether you're taking the Academic or General Training version of IELTS.

Is Reading scored the same for Academic and General Training?
No — General Training Reading typically requires more correct answers to reach the same band, since its passages are generally considered easier.
