How is the test marked?
IELTS is not a pass/fail exam. Each module of the test is graded separately as a 'Band Score'. The module scores are then added together to provide an overall Band Score. Band scores range from 1 (=non user) to 9 (=expert user). Most universities and institutions of Higher Education will ask for an overall Band score (generally between 6 - 7.5).
