A good IELTS score is mandatory for admission in the universities of
UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Apart from a good IELTS score
Universities also expect a good GPA (Grade Point Average) from the
students from their past education.
You will receive a separate Band Score for each section. The four Band
Scores, one for each section are added together and averaged for an
Overall Band Score. Each Band has a statement giving a summary of the
English at that level. There are nine Band levels, from one (non-user)
to nine (expert user).
The minimum score accepted for a course ranges from 5.0 to 7.5,
depending upon courses and institutes you are applying to. The most
common requirement is a band score of 6 to 6.5.
Overall IELTS band scores and Listening and Reading IELTS band scores
are reported in half bands. Writing and Speaking band scores are
reported in whole bands. This feature helps the Universities in
following their guidelines at the time of admission.
Test Reports have a validity of two years. You can retake the test if
you do not achieve the desired score but not before three months from
the first test date.
