The document shows the raw score ranges on the IELTS exam that correspond to each IELTS band level from 1 to 9 for the four components of Listening, Reading (Academic), and Reading (General Training). For example, a Listening score between 30-32 corresponds to band 7, while a Reading (Academic) score between 15-18 corresponds to band 4. The higher the score, the higher the proficiency level based on the standardized IELTS 9-band scale.
