Loading the next practice step…
Enter the four section bands from a practice or official result. The calculator shows the average and rounds it to the nearest whole or half band.
IELTS reports Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking separately. The overall band is their average rounded to the nearest half band. An average ending in .25 moves to the next half band; .75 moves to the next whole band.

The quarter band rounds upward to the next half.
6.75 average
The three-quarter band rounds upward to the next whole band.
6.125 average
This is closer to 6.0 than 6.5.
6.5 average
An exact half band does not need further rounding.
It combines section scores; it does not predict a Listening or Reading score from raw answers, and it cannot turn an AI practice estimate into an official IELTS result.
