How can I interpret IELTS® results?
The international English language test system, or IELTS®, is a standardized test designed to measure English communication ability. The test evaluates four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking, with a grammatical and dictionary that is its own use of four skills. The IELTS® results are organized in nine descriptive statements, with 9 representing an expert and 1 representing someone who has virtually no ability to use language. The results
IELTS® are calculated by means of an average of four scores of partial tests, which then provides the overall score of the band. For example, a candidate who receives 4.0 for listening, 3.0 for reading, 3.5 for writing and 4.5 for speaking, a total score of the band 3.75, which is rounded to 4.0. If the average of four skills ended at 0.25, then it is rounded to the nearest half band; If it ends at 0.75, then it is rounded to the nearest whole band. The score of half the band is used to indicate a strong upwardsKona for a certain skill. The total band score and score for individual skills are given in the results of IELTS®.
There is no passage or failure in IELTS®. The level of acceptance depends entirely on the organization or institution to assess the results. The results are sent 13 days after the test. The band's score is interpreted: 9 is a professional user, 8 is a very good user, 7 is good, 6 is competent, 5 is modest, 4 is a limited user, 3 is an extremely limited user, 2 is intermittent user, 1 is a user and 0 means that the candidate has not tried a test. The perfect score is converted to zone 9.
Comparison of many English tests is a bit difficult because each test has its own scoring system. The very rough guide to the more well -known tests is that 7.5 to 9 V IELTS® is comparable to C2 in the common European framework of reference (CEFR), score 785 to 990 in English for international communication (Toeic) and 590 to 670 in the English test as a foreign language (TOEFL). The score of 6.5 to 7.0 V IELTS® is compared with C1 in CEFR, 605 to 780 in Toeic and 550 to 587 in Toefl. The results of IELTS® 5.5 to 6.0 are equivalent to B2 in CEFR, 605 to 780 in Toeic and 513 to 547 in Toefl.
in IELTS® you can choose two different modules, depending on the candidate's goal. The academic module is designed for those who want to study at a university level or who want to be professionally registered. The general training module is designed for potential migrants to the English -speaking country or for studying at the level below them.
