TOEFL to IELTS Score Conversion: How Do They Differ?
The TOEFL iBT and IELTS Academic are generally comparable exams. Your ability to read, write, listen, and speak English is assessed on both tests. Furthermore, in English-speaking nations, passing both tests is typically a prerequisite for entrance to graduate and undergraduate programs.
Still, every test has its grading system. Each TOEFL taker receives four scores, one for reading, writing, speaking, and listening, on a scale from 0 to 30 with increments of one point. A total TOEFL score of 120 points is obtained by adding these four scores. My TOEFL score would be 29+25+24+25=103, for instance, if I scored 29 on Reading, 25 on Writing, 24 on Listening, and 25 on Speaking.
On an IELTS scale of 0 to 9, with half-point increments, test takers earn four distinct “band” scores for Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. The IELTS total band score is based on the same 0-9. This is because it is the average of these four values, not the sum of them.
For example, if I were to score 8 on Reading, 7 on Writing, 5 on Listening, and 6 on Speaking, my total IELTS band score would be (8+7+5+6)/4=6.5. Note that total IELTS scores always {round to the nearest half-point.}
