IELTS planning guide
Understand your IELTS overall band and plan the next step
IELTS overall band scores are calculated from the four section scores and rounded according to IELTS rules. Use this guide as a planning aid, then confirm your target with your test provider.
A simple way to read your score profile
Compare each component, identify the score that limits your overall result, and build practice around the highest-impact skill.
Rounding matters
The overall score is rounded to the nearest half or whole band according to IELTS scoring rules.
Use evidence
A diagnostic sample and recent practice results provide a more useful plan than a single estimate.
