Indicative band
This is an indicative Academic Reading practice conversion, not an official IELTS result or score report. Use it to review your progress alongside the type of questions you missed.
Use the number wisely
Guide your review — not your identity.
A raw score is most useful when you pair it with the question types that slowed you down or caused mistakes. Read our Reading review guide, then try a timed Academic Reading mini-set.
