IELTS score to Points Conversion

[man_man170]

Can some one please help me understand the points calculation based on the score I get in IELTS. I mean there are 4 skills, speaking, listening, reading, writing. The maximum I can score is 24. So how much points do I need to get in IELTS to have 4 in all skills.

Also is there a breakup to understand that better anywhere in web or other places, i.e if I get 6 in Reading, its moderate and I get 2 points and if its 7 its High and i get 4 points.

Advice and sharing information is appreciated.

You can find it here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG72.asp around the middle of the page.

You would need 6.5 speaking, 7.5 listening, 6.5 reading and 6.5 writing to get full points.  If you get that in 3 categories but moderate in one category, you would get 2 points for the moderate category and 4 for each of the other ones.

here is the detail that how many correct answers gives you which band

Number of Correct Answers in writing and listing
 
20            5.5
25            6
28            6.5
30            7
33            7.5
35            8
38            8.5
40            9

In writing Module total score for Report writing is 3.6 and for Essay writing is 5.4. This score depends on your ability to write a report and an essay.

Similarly, speaking module covers total of 9 score. You will never get the score of speaking in decimal.

and when you want to convert your band score into immigration points, use this table.

high      4   6.5 - 9.0   7.5 - 9.0   6.5 - 9.0   6.5 - 9.0
            
Moderate     2   5.5 - 6.0   5.5 - 7.0   5.0 - 6.0   5.5 - 6.0
Basic     1   4.0 - 5.0    4.5 - 5.0   3.5 - 4.5   4.0 - 5.0
No   0   Less than 4.0   Less than 4.5   Less than 3.5    Less than 4.0

Hi

Report writing is no more a part of the Writing task 1 for general training. The task 1 rather is a letter writing task which serves a more practical purpose .
