Analysis of test data
Each year, multiple versions of each of the six IELTS modules
(Listening, Academic Reading, General Training Reading, Academic
Writing, General Training Writing, and Speaking) are released for
use by centres testing IELTS candidates. Reliability estimates for
the objectively and subjectively scored modules used in 2007 are
reported here.
IELTS is assessed on a nine-band scale and reports scores both
overall and by individual skill. Overall Band Scores for Academic
and General Training candidates in 2007 are reported here together
with scores for the individual skills.
In addition overall band percentile data is reported for
candidates grouped in terms of their purpose for taking IELTS and
by their first language and country of region of origin.
