How IELTS Band Score is calculated
IELTS scores range from 0 to 9 with 9 being the highest score. It is also a possibility that you get .5 scores (i.e. 6.5, 7.5, etc.). A candidate will receive separate band scores for each of the skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking) and also an overall score. The overall score is the average of all the skills.
IELTS Mock Test
One of the key factors that lead to a high band score in IELTS is PRACTICE. We really believe that practice is the way to perfection. Therefore at Oli & Associates, we provide you the facility of testing your aptitude with the most realistic IELTS Mock Test.
