Where can a band take you?
Six of the most common destinations for IELTS candidates. Each shows the requirement we could verify from the body that actually sets it — an immigration department, a visa authority, or a named university — rather than an averaged-out figure. Where a country publishes no national requirement, we say so instead of inventing one.
Each figure is the one its own authority publishes — see the country page for sources.
The band calculator converts raw scores with the official tables, so you can see what each band actually costs you in marks. When you know the number you need, sit a full mock under the same pressure, timing and scoring as the real exam.
