for more information on marking and band scores see below 

ELTS uses a band scoring system. There are nine bands. 


Each of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) is scored on a scale of 1.0 to 9.0, and students can score half points, (e.g. 6.5). Students will then be given an overall score. For context, the average entry into a British university will require an overall score of 5.5 to 7.5.
