break up in IELTS scoring

[Skip]

hi,

I would like to know that what are the minimum scores in each band, listening, reading, writing and speaking, that you need in IELTS to score full 16 points for high proficiency in English? Further, if I score less then the benchmark in any catagory how much will I be penalized for my points?

Regards,
Skip.

Cheers
