How to get a 7 to 7.5 Bands in IELTS

 

For most overseas students, IELTS Band 7 is the ultimate goal. A score of 7.0 or 7.5 on the IELTS indicates that your English is sufficient to enroll in any university programme, including those at elite Oxbridge and Ivy League universities.

 

Only a small percentage of degree programmes demand an IELTS Band 7 or higher, and these are typically language-intensive subjects like literature, linguistics, and law.

 

This article explains exactly what you must do to achieve IELTS Band 7 in each of the four test components. Depending on whether you satisfy or slightly surpass these minimum standards, your module score, or sub-score,' can be 7.0 or 7.5.

 

Depending on the average band score for each of the four modules, your overall IELTS score will be either 7.0 or 7.5. For instance, IELTS 7.5 Equals Listening Band 7 + Reading Band 8 + Writing Band 8 + Speaking Band 7.
