Match the format
Academic Reading and General Training Reading use different conversion patterns. Select the format you will actually sit.
Free IELTS score tool

Choose Academic or General Training, select Reading or Listening, and see an approximate planning band from your correct answers out of 40.
Convert correct answers to an estimated band
Choose the test format and skill. The table is a planning estimate for Listening or Reading, not an official score conversion.
Estimated skill band
Academic Reading
Use the result to choose your next practice block.
Raw-score thresholds can vary by test version, and Writing and Speaking are scored by examiners rather than converted from 40 questions. Use this as a study signal, then review real performance.
Why the estimate is approximate
Use raw scores as evidence, not a promise.
Question difficulty and conversion thresholds can vary by test version. Writing and Speaking do not use a 40-question raw-score table. Use this tool to choose a practice focus, then review a representative task under realistic conditions.
Review the cause
A missed answer may reflect vocabulary, timing, attention, or question-type control. The next session should investigate why.
Useful answers
Questions about raw-score conversions
These tools are independent planning aids. Use the result to choose a better next task, then replace estimates with evidence from real practice.
Can this converter predict my official score?
No. It gives an approximate study estimate. Test versions can differ, and only an official IELTS result reports your final band.
Why do Academic and General Training Reading differ?
The Reading tests use different texts and task designs, so the approximate number of correct answers associated with a band can differ.
Can I convert Writing or Speaking raw scores?
No. Writing and Speaking are assessed using examiner criteria rather than a 40-question raw-score table.
