ELTS Band Score

IELTS Band Score ले test taker को English language proficiency level देखाउँछ। IELTS मा pass or fail हुँदैन। यसको सट्टा result 0 देखि 9 band scale मा दिइन्छ, र तपाईंले Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking चारै skills को छुट्टाछुट्टै band score पाउनुहुन्छ। त्यसपछि तिनै चार score को average बाट overall band score निकालिन्छ।

1️⃣ Band Score Calculation

IELTS मा Listening र Reading मा प्रत्येक correct answer का लागि 1 mark दिइन्छ, र total score 40 मध्ये count हुन्छ। त्यसपछि त्यो raw score लाई IELTS 9-band scale मा convert गरिन्छ। Scores whole band वा half band मा report गरिन्छ, जस्तै 6.0 वा 6.5।

Writing र Speaking चाहिँ examiner ले official band descriptors अनुसार assess गर्छन्। यी modules मा performance based scoring हुन्छ, जहाँ task response, coherence, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, pronunciation जस्ता criteria हेरिन्छ।

👉 Simple रूपमा:
Listening/Reading = marks-based conversion
Writing/Speaking = performance-based band assessment

2️⃣ Overall Band Score

Overall band score भनेको Listening + Reading + Writing + Speaking का चार individual band scores को average हो। त्यसपछि average लाई nearest whole band वा half band मा round गरिन्छ।

Rounding Rule

👉 यदि average .25 मा end हुन्छ भने next half band मा round up हुन्छ।
👉 यदि average .75 मा end हुन्छ भने next whole band मा round up हुन्छ।

Example 1

  • Listening: 6.5
  • Reading: 6.5
  • Writing: 5.0
  • Speaking: 7.0

Average = 25 ÷ 4 = 6.25
✅ Overall Band Score = 6.5

Example 2

  • Listening: 6.5
  • Reading: 6.5
  • Writing: 5.5
  • Speaking: 6.0

Average = 24.5 ÷ 4 = 6.125
✅ Overall Band Score = 6.0

3️⃣ Band Descriptors

IELTS ले प्रत्येक band को एउटा meaning दिन्छ। यो score ले candidate को English use गर्ने level देखाउँछ। British Council ले band score meaning यसरी explain गरेको छ:
