BAND SCORE—

This one is exact. The rule is published by IELTS: add the four, divide by four, then round. A result ending in .25 goes up to the next half band and .75 goes up to the next whole band — so 6.25 becomes 6.5, and 6.75 becomes 7.0.

Knowing the number is the easy part.LoftPrep marks your practice tests, then tells you which question types are costing you the marks — not just how many you lost.
