IELTS Writing Band Score

Skor untuk sub-tes Writing dihitung berdasarkan empat kriteria, yakni: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, serta Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Masing-masing poin penilaian dapat dijelaskan sebagai berikut:

8	Sufficiently addresses all parts of the task Presents a well-developed response to the question with relevant, extended and supported ideas
7	Addresses all parts of the task Presents a clear position throughout the response Presents, extends, and supports main ideas, but there may be a tendency to over-generalise and/or supporting ideas may lack focus
6	Addresses all parts of the task although some parts may be more fully covered than others Presents a relevant position although the conclusions may become unclear or repetitive Presents relevant main ideas but some may be inadequately developed/unclear
5	Addresses the task only partially; the format may be inappropriate in places Expresses a position but the development is not always clear and there may be no conclusion drawn Presents some main ideas but these are limited and not sufficiently developed; there may irrelevant detail

6	Uses an adequate range of vocabulary for the task Attempts to use less common vocabulary but with some inaccuracy Makes some errors in spelling and/or word formation, but they do not impede communication

Perlu anda ingat bahwa perhitungan untuk IELTS Writing Section adalah sebagai berikut:

Perhitungan Skor Writing Task 1 dan Task 2: 

(1x skor Writing Task 1) + (2x skor Writing Task 2)

Lalu, hasil perhitungan diatas dibagi 3

IELTS Speaking Band Score

Sub-tes Speaking juga dihitung dengan mempertimbangkan empat kriteria penilaian yang dapat dijabarkan sebagai berikut:

Fluency

6	Is will to speak at length, though may lose coherence at times due to occasional repetition, self-correction or hesitation Uses a range of connectives and discourse markers but not always appropriately
5	Usually maintains flow of speech but uses repetition, self-correction and/or slow speech to keep going May over-use certain connectives and discourse markers Produces simple speech fluently, but more complex communication causes fluency problems
4	Cannot respond without noticeable pauses and may speak slowly, with frequent repetition and self-correction Links basic sentences but with repetitious use of simple connectives and some breakdowns in coherence

0

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

Band Score	Grammatical Range and Accuracy

Overall Score

Setelah anda mengetahui skor setiap sub-tes, anda dapat menjumlahkannya, lalu hasil penjumlahan skor dibagi 4. Skor anda secara keseluruhan dapat dijelaskan sebagai berikut:

Perlu diingat bahwa pada skor IELTS, desimal yang kurang dari .25 dan .75 harus dibulatkan ke bawah, sedangkan desimal yang lebih dari .25 dan .75 harus dibulatkan ke atas.

Misal skor anda adalah 6.25, maka akan dibulatkan menjadi 6.5
