Can some one please help me understand the points calculation based on the score I get in IELTS. I mean there are 4 skills, speaking, listening, reading, writing. The maximum I can score is 24. So how much points do I need to get in IELTS to have 4 in all skills.
Also is there a breakup to understand that better anywhere in web or other places, i.e if I get 6 in Reading, its moderate and I get 2 points and if its 7 its High and i get 4 points.
You can find it here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG72.asp around the middle of the page.
You would need 6.5 speaking, 7.5 listening, 6.5 reading and 6.5 writing to get full points. If you get that in 3 categories but moderate in one category, you would get 2 points for the moderate category and 4 for each of the other ones.
here is the detail that how many correct answers gives you which band

28 6.5
30 7

In writing Module total score for Report writing is 3.6 and for Essay writing is 5.4. This score depends on your ability to write a report and an essay.
Similarly, speaking module covers total of 9 score. You will never get the score of speaking in decimal.

Report writing is no more a part of the Writing task 1 for general training. The task 1 rather is a letter writing task which serves a more practical purpose .
