– Candidates receive one point for each correct answer, resulting in a total of 40 questions.

– The raw score is then converted to a band score, using the same scale as the Listening section.

Conversion Example:

For example, a candidate who achieves a raw score of:

  • 39 – 40: Band Score 9 (Expert user)
  • 35 – 38: Band Score 8 (Very good user)
  • 30 – 34: Band Score 7 (Good user)
  • 26 – 29: Band Score 6 (Competent user)
  • 22 – 25: Band Score 5 (Modest user)
  • 18 – 21: Band Score 4 (Limited user)
  • 0 – 17: Band Score 3 or lower, depending on the raw score.
