Academic & General Scoring
Convert your correct reading answers (out of 40) into the IELTS band score. Supports both Academic and General Training formats.
The IELTS Reading test consists of 3 passages and 40 questions to be answered in 60 minutes. No extra transfer time is provided.
General Training Reading requires more correct answers than Academic Reading to achieve the same band score, as General passages use simpler, everyday texts.
