How is the overall band score calculated?
The overall band score is the average of the four components (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking), rounded to the nearest whole or half band.
Case 1: .25 rounds up
L: 6.5, R: 6.5, W: 6.0, S: 6.0
Average = 25.0 / 4 = 6.25
Final Overall Score = 6.5
Case 2: .75 rounds up
L: 6.5, R: 6.5, W: 7.0, S: 7.0
Average = 27.0 / 4 = 6.75
Final Overall Score = 7.0
Case 3: .125 rounds down
L: 6.5, R: 6.0, W: 6.0, S: 6.0
Average = 24.5 / 4 = 6.125
Final Overall Score = 6.0
