IELTS Listening Score Calculator — Raw to Band
The IELTS Listening test is scored out of 40 raw marks (40 questions, one mark each). Listening uses the same conversion table for Academic and General Training — unlike Reading, where the two modules use different scales. Below is the official IELTS Listening raw-to-band table used in 2026.
| Raw score (out of 40) | IELTS Listening band | CEFR equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 39–40 | 9.0 | C2 (Mastery) |
| 37–38 | 8.5 | C1 (Advanced) |
| 35–36 | 8.0 | C1 (Advanced) |
| 32–34 | 7.5 | C1 (Advanced) |
| 30–31 | 7.0 | B2 / C1 boundary |
| 26–29 | 6.5 | B2 (Upper Intermediate) |
| 23–25 | 6.0 | B2 (Upper Intermediate) |
| 18–22 | 5.5 | B1 / B2 boundary |
| 16–17 | 5.0 | B1 (Intermediate) |
| 13–15 | 4.5 | B1 (Intermediate) |
| 10–12 | 4.0 | A2 / B1 boundary |
How to use the Listening calculator
Count your correct answers from your most recent IELTS Listening practice paper (out of 40), then read across the table — that's your band score. The Listening table is identical for IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. Spelling counts: a Listening answer with a misspelt word is marked wrong even if you heard it correctly.
