The Academic and General Training papers are graded to the same scale. Candidates will be given a score of 1 to 9 for each part of the test – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The average will become the overall band score. Candidates can score whole (e.g., 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) or half (e.g., 5.5., 6.5, 7.5) bands in each part of the test.
