Why you can't "pass IELTS"!

Why can't you "pass IELTS"? The reason is that IELTS is not a test you can "pass" or "fail"!

Your IELTS result indicates your language level.

As the official IELTS website states, "There is no pass or fail in IELTS. Candidates are graded on their performance, using scores from 1 to 9 for each part of the test – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The results from the four parts then produce an Overall Band Score."

For details of the 9 "bands", please see

So, you can't "pass IELTS" -- and you can't "fail," either!
