Your IELTS band score is an average of the individual scores from the four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Each section is graded on a scale of 0 to 9, and the overall score is rounded to the nearest half or whole band. For example, if your section scores are 7.0, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.0, your average would be 7.25, rounded to 7.5.

The scoring criteria for each section differ slightly. In Writing and Speaking, examiners look at factors like grammar, coherence, and task achievement, while in Listening and Reading, the focus is purely on accuracy. It's important to understand these nuances to improve your overall score effectively.
