How to Use Our IELTS score to CLB Calculator?

IELTS to CLB: The Basics
Here’s a simple way to understand the conversion:
- IELTS 8.5 and up: Usually CLB 9 (super advanced) Example: If you got IELTS 8.5 in Reading, that’s CLB 9 for Reading.
- IELTS 7.0 to 8.0: Around CLB 7-8 (pretty advanced) Example: An IELTS 7.5 in Speaking would be CLB 8 for Speaking.
- IELTS 5.0 to 6.5: About CLB 5-6 (intermediate) Example: If you scored IELTS 6.0 in Listening, that’s CLB 6 for Listening.
- IELTS 4.5 and below: CLB 4 or lower (beginner) Example: An IELTS 4.0 in Writing would be below CLB 4 for Writing.
Remember, each skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) is converted separately. Your overall CLB is usually the lowest of these four CLB levels.
How does this IELTS to CLB Calculator Work?
Our calculator uses official rules to change IELTS scores into CLB levels. Here’s a bit more detail:
- For most levels, we simply match your IELTS score to the right CLB level.
- For higher scores (CLB 7 and up), we use a special rule. If three of your skills are at a higher level, your overall CLB might be higher too.
For example, if you have IELTS scores of 8, 8, 7.5, and 6.5, three of your scores are at CLB 8 or higher. Even though one score is lower, you might still get CLB 8 overall. This rule helps give a fairer picture of your English skills.
