Open toolWhich tool do you need?
Each tool answers one question. Pick the one that matches where you are stuck.
You have a raw score and want a band
Listening and Reading are marked out of 40, and the band depends on how many answers you got right. The IELTS Reading score calculator and IELTS Listening score calculator convert a raw score straight away. Reading has separate Academic and General Training scales, so pick the module you are sitting. The IELTS band score chart puts all three scales on one page, which helps when you are working backwards from a target.
You want your overall band
The overall band is the average of Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, rounded to the nearest half band. The IELTS band score calculator applies IELTS's rounding rule, so you can try different section combinations before you set a target.
You need to practise Speaking or Writing
The cue card generator draws a random Part 2 topic from 208 cue cards and runs the real 1-minute prep and 2-minute speaking timer. The writing word counter counts words live against the Task 1 and Task 2 minimums and times you against the recommended duration.
You are planning around a deadline
The score validity calculator takes your test date and shows when your result is generally valid until. IELTS recommends treating results as valid for two years, but your university or immigration authority sets the rule that applies to you.
Where the numbers come from
The conversion tables use the commonly published scales from IDP IELTS, IELTS Beacon and IELTS.org, and each tool page lists its sources. IELTS equates every test version separately and does not publish one fixed table, so real cutoffs can move by about a mark between sittings.
Treat every result here as an estimate for practice, not an official score. A calculator tells you where you stand. A full IELTS practice test shows why you are there.
