Free IELTS target tool
Convert a target band into a practice score range.

Convert a band target to an approximate raw-score range
Choose the test format and skill. The table is a planning estimate for Listening or Reading, not an official score conversion.
Approximate raw-score range
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.
Plan the attempt
Know what “ready” should feel like.
A target range can make a practice session concrete, but it should sit beside timing, accuracy, and review evidence—not replace them.
- 01 Pick the correct test format
- 02 Practise the target range under time
- 03 Review errors before retesting
A range, not a guarantee
Use the target to organise your week.
Conversion tables are approximate and can vary by test version. Keep Writing and Speaking goals separate because they are assessed through examiner criteria rather than 40-question raw scores.
Turn a target into repetition
Practise toward the range, then review the pattern.
Use PrepRoadRunner for realistic sections, AI-supported speaking, vocabulary review, and evidence you can bring into the next study decision.
Open the web practice platform or continue on iPhone. Your academy plan stays the starting point.
