Calculate Your IELTS Result – Get Your Band Score in Reading and Listening

Last updated: 24 September, 2023

IELTS Listening Score Calculator

There are 40 questions in your IELTS Listening test. Each correct answer is worth 1 mark. This calculator converts the total correct answers (also known as your ‘raw’ score) into your Listening Band score.

Note: don’t leave answers blank as they will get no marks – try and guess any answers you couldn’t hear. Your score will be the same if you leave an answer blank or if you write an incorrect answer. Wrong answers don’t get penalised, which is why guessing may only help you gain marks, not lose them.

This calculator shows the average number of correct answers needed to get a particular IELTS band score.

Your IELTS Reading score is calculated using the number of your correct answers out of the total 40 questions in the test. Each correct answer in the IELTS Reading test is worth 1 mark. This calculator converts the total correct answers (also known as your 'raw' score) into your Reading Band score.

Note: blank answers will get no marks, so try and guess any answers you couldn't find. Your score will be the same if you leave an answer blank or if you write an incorrect answer. There is no penalty for writing wrong answers, which is why guessing may only help you gain marks, not lose them.

This calculator shows the average number of correct answers needed to get a particular IELTS band score. The calculation is different for Academic and General Training IELTS - make sure to use the right calculator for your type of IELTS test.

    Calculator for reading and listening can be found eadily. Please help by providing writing calculator. Or do help by checking tasks accordingly.

    Hi Fatema, there is no such thing as a “writing calculator” – because writing is never scored automatically, it takes a person to do that, and the person has to be trained in grading IELTS writing. We have a writing correction service you can use to submit your writing and get it back checked and graded with mistakes highlighted and corrected, and with suggestions how to score higher. You can visit this page for all the details and also to download samples of checked writing tasks.
