What IELTS Band Score Do You Need?
Many universities set minimum section and overall requirements, but the required score varies by institution and programme. Your number depends on:
- The country and university
- The course and degree level
- Your visa category
- Professional registration rules, if any
Check both the overall band and each section minimum. A 7.0 overall with 5.5 in Writing can still fall short of a course that asks for 6.0 in every section.
| Band | Official skill level |
|---|---|
| 9 | Expert user |
| 8 | Very good user |
| 7 | Good user |
| 6 | Competent user |
| 5 | Modest user |
| 4 | Limited user |
Half bands such as 6.5 sit between these levels. Results show a score for each section and an overall band.
IELTS Academic vs IELTS General Training
Listening and Speaking are the same in both. Reading and Writing differ. Confirm which version your university, employer or immigration authority asks for before you book. Aliff coaches for both.
Used for
Undergraduate and postgraduate study, and some professional registration.
Reading
Three longer texts from books, journals and newspapers, written for a non-specialist reader.
Writing
Task 1: describe a graph, table, chart or diagram in at least 150 words. Task 2: an essay of at least 250 words.
