In the Reading test, you will answer 40 questions. A variety of question types are used, e.g. multiple choice, True/False/Not Given, matching, and sentence completion. Your answers are either correct or incorrect, so the marking is a little different to the Speaking and Writing tests. You will receive one mark for each correct answer, with the total number of marks determining your band score. The tables below indicate the average number of marks required to achieve a particular band score in Academic Reading:
Band score 5 = 15 out of a raw score of 40
Band score 6 = 23 out of a raw score of 40
Band score 7 = 30 out of a raw score of 40
