The marking is a little different from the Speaking and Writing assessments because your responses can only be correct or incorrect. Each accurate response will earn you one mark, and the total number of marks earned will determine your band score.

  • Band score of 5 is equal to 15 out of a raw score of 40.
  • Band score of 6 is equal to 23 out of a raw score of 40.
