For teachers
Diagnose the limiting criterion, assign one exact action, define success evidence and moderate borderline ratings before giving score advice.
What is inside
Score system
Component scoring, overall-score rounding, raw-score anchors and explicit limits on classroom estimates.
Listening and Reading
Every major item type pairs a repeat failure with an exact practice action and the evidence that shows whether the practice worked.
Writing and Speaking
All six Writing and four Speaking criterion tables cover Bands 9 to 0. Each of the 100 rows gives observable evidence and the next preparation target.
Records and sources
Student recheck records, teacher diagnostic forms, compact reliability controls and 25 fully printed source URLs that remain copyable when a PDF viewer blocks clicks.
Important use note
This is an independent classroom resource. Exact Listening and Reading conversions can vary by test version; use the conversion supplied with the exact practice form. Classroom ratings are preparation evidence, not official IELTS results. Sources were checked on 6 September 2026.
