IELTS BAND SCALE

What does it mean?

IELTS is graded using a standard band framework, where each band represents a different level of English proficiency. Scores for the band are either in entire or half bands.

The nine bands are described as follows

9 Expert User

Has perfect mastery of the language, using it correctly, accurately, and fluently. This score is extremely difficult to get.

8 Very Good User

Has complete operational grasp of the language, with only sporadic unsystematic errors and omissions. Handles intricate, nuanced arguments with ease.

7 Good User

Has operational mastery of the language, although with certain mistakes, inappropriateness, and misunderstandings in some settings. It understands intricate logic and can handle complicated language.

6 Competent User

Despite certain mistakes, inappropriateness, and misconceptions, has typically good mastery of the language. In a familiar context, I can use and understand rather complicated words

5 Modest User

3 Extremely Limited User

1 Non User
