How is the IELTS Listening test marked?

<p>The IELTS Listening test consists of 40 questions, and you get one mark for each correct answer. Your total number of correct answers determines your "raw score, " which is then converted into a band score. It is important to try to answer every question, even if you are not sure of the answer. A blank answer will get you zero marks. The table below shows the average number of marks required to achieve a particular band score in the Listening test:&nbsp;</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.028%;" border="1"><colgroup><col style="width: 49.945%;"><col style="width: 49.945%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Number of correct answers<br> (Raw Score)</td><td>IELTS Listening<br>Band Score</td></tr><tr><td>39-40</td><td>9.0</td></tr><tr><td>37-38</td><td>8.5</td></tr><tr><td>35-36</td><td>8.0</td></tr><tr><td>32-34</td><td>7.5</td></tr><tr><td>30-31</td><td>7.0</td></tr><tr><td>26-29</td><td>6.5</td></tr><tr><td>23-25</td><td>6.0</td></tr></tbody></table><p>&nbsp;</p>
