can i get score of 7.5?

(8 + 8.5 + 7.5 + 6) / 4

 

[nicholas30]

Are you concerned with the band of 7.5 or having full 16 points?

Its the overall score that matters.....i am not sur ethough..........

You can get 6.6 6.5 8 9 and still get 7.5 overall score

 

[nicholas30]

it depends, even with an overall band of 7.5 you may not get the full 16 points

CIC looks at the individual scores over section to calculate points. Look at Section 12.9 at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdf for details on the points. In your example, if you gave the scores L/R/W/S you would have 4 points each for listening, reading, and writing and 2 points for speaking for English as your first language. Thus a total of 14 points (assuming you took the test on or after Nov 28 2008.

does "first" or "second" official language matters?

 

[nicholas30]

No...... depends what u consider first and second.

 

[OhCanadiana]

does "first" or "second" official language matters?

You can decide which language you report as your first (should be your stronger language) and which as your second. You can get a maximum of 16 points for fluency in your first language vs a maximum of 8 points for fluency in your second.

Re: IELTS Scores Question

I gave speaking test of ielts academic today and in part 2 the examiner ask me speak on my memorable journey as child but instead I misunderstood the question and speak about all Pakistan tour I have done as a child other than that interview went quit well (think i should get 7 bands if that mistake was not happened).i will really appreciate if you can tell me how big mistake was it and band score I can expect.

Overall score is the average of all four modules score.... So, you can get 7.5 even if you not maintain the same figure in each module.

For example: I got 7.5 Overall, but my individuals were:
R = 6.0
L = 8.5
S = 7.0
W = 7.5

@leo4bilal, based on your score band you get 14 points out of 16

Indeed, that is how IELTS grants the overall score. For FSW, CIC grants points based on scores in the individual modules.
