Overall IELTS Band 7.0 - Good User (Academic)

  • Band 7 is accepted for admission to many postgraduate and some law or medical programmes at English-speaking universities.
  • Your unrounded average was 6.75, which rounded up to 7.0 under the official IELTS rounding rules.

Next stepCheck whether your target institution sets a minimum score for each individual skill section, not just the overall band, as a low subscore can disqualify an application even when the overall meets the requirement.
