IELTS maximum score

[JSSJMD22]

Im not sure whether i got more points for clb 10 than 9. But the big boost comes from the transferability points for sure

Thanks.

It goes up to CLB 12 actually but I believe you get maximum points from CLB 10 or above. If you want to see the maximum points on each category as well as every breakdown, check this link. Also if you want to check the CLB equivalency, use this one. Hope it helps.

Thanks for sharing this information. Its useful.

it's not a biggie frankly. The missus isn't a pro at language, but scored CLB 12 with my assistance. All you need are the right resources and the right study partner.

If you really need a CLB10 you might put yourself on a rough spot as it is not easy to deal with the pressure of having to achieve a high score to stand a chance at the express entry pool, however it is not impossible (at least I managed to do it), but sadly I feel there is a bit of luck involved.

There are a lot of resources in youtube and internet in general, try to identify your weakness and slowly work your way up. Familiarize with the test, practice your listening a lot, read the tips for writing and speaking parts and learn how to approach questions in the reading section, especially the "true/yes, false/no, not given" ones since those are very tricky.

Personally I was between the 7.5-8 band for listening while practicing and got the 8.5 needed for the CLB10, and 8 reading band while practicing and got a whooping 9 the day of the test, for the speaking and writing part it is quite hard to evaluate yourself and your best bet is to find a partner to practice, ideally with a similar level, so you can help, practice and correct each other assuming you are both quite proficient in the language.

Always remember this, it is more of a "how well you can take the test and how much you know how to tackle it", rather than "how much english you know or how good you are with it", I have seen native speakers perform poorly and average English users tearing it apart.

Best of luck if you decide to take it.
