Each part of the test, as mentioned above is evaluated and graded individually and based on the individual scores, an average of all the skills is calculated presenting your overall score. To calculate your total score, the individual scores are rounded up to their nearest whole band or half-band. The table below gives 2 examples that will clarify this for you &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Listening<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Reading<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Writing<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Speaking<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Overall<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8.0<\/td><td>7.5<\/td><td>7.0<\/td><td>7.5<\/td><td><strong>7.5<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6.0<\/td><td>5.5<\/td><td>7.0<\/td><td>6.5<\/td><td><strong>6.5<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual scores and total scores in an IELTS band chart are essential to certain students. This will be determined by the reason you are taking the IELTS exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A university, for example, would normally require an overall IELTS band score of 6.5 with no aspect less than 5.5. If you&#8217;re taking IELTS for a university application, keep in mind that requirements vary by university and even by course at the same university. Keep in mind to always double-check the needed score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Overview_Of_The_IELTS_Band_Chart\"><\/span><strong>An Overview Of The IELTS Band Chart&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your band score is intended to accurately reflect your level of skill in all four components of English &#8211; writing, speaking, reading, and listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data can then be used by multiple institutions to determine whether you will be able to effectively study, work, or reside in the nation to which you are applying.
