First, the official IELTS site has some tables and formulas, here is the <a title="IELTS Band Score calculation" href="http://www.ielts.org/teachersandresearchers/scoreprocessingreportinginterpretation/article231.aspx" rel="nofollow">link</a>. Basically they say that 30 correct answers in Listening and Academic Reading give you Band Score 7, and in General Training Reading you need 34 correct answers to get Band Score 7. Their rules of rounding are as follows: 1) If you get score from 6 to 6.24, they round it to 6. 2) If you get score from 6.25 to 6.49 they round it to 6.5 3) If you get score from 6.5 to 6.74 they round it to 6.5 4) If you get score from 6.75 to 6.99 they round it to 7 Now about more listening tips ? there are really great ones in <a title="Purchase Ace The IELTS e-Book here" href="http://www.ielts-blog.com/Ace-The-IELTS-Offer-Page.html" rel="nofollow"> "Ace The IELTS" e-Book </a>.I don?t just recommend it because I sell this book (the profits from sales are used to improve IELTS-blog), but I really believe that it can help you a lot to improve your IELTS score. Those techniques have helped a lot of my students. The book has 66 pages filled with IELTS tips and it is impossible to squeeze all that in just one post. I will try though to add more Listening tips in my future posts, thanks for the feedback, man!

Like, I am able to score between 23 to 27 out of 40. I am able to correct answer in choices like A,B,C or D. But the toughest part of listening is writting words in blanks. Is there any tricks to crack listening part. And also let me how many marks we need for reading and writting to get 7 bands. I heard that, 27 out of 40 means, 7 bands. Please advice me..
