When to use each IELTS tool
After Listening or Reading practice, open the Score Calculator to translate raw marks into a band. Toggle Academic vs General for Reading so you do not misread a GT raw score on an Academic table.
Use the Score Converter when you have four section bands and need an overall average with IELTS-style half-band rounding, plus a rough CEFR hint for programme comparisons.
Read Band Descriptors before Writing or Speaking practice so you know what examiners reward. When you have a draft essay, run Writing Checker for criterion-level AI feedback (credits apply), then rewrite once.
Tools work best next to timed section practice and full mocks. For the story behind the numbers, start with the band score chart Guide.
Tools FAQs
After Listening or Reading practice, start with the Score Calculator. Use Band Descriptors before Writing/Speaking drills, Writing Checker for essay feedback, and the Score Converter once you have four section bands.
