How the new overall band works
Your overall band is the average of your four section bands, rounded to the nearest half band. For two years from January 2026, score reports also show a comparable 0–120 score, which ETS sets at the middle of the matching range.
Use it as a guide
ETS describes these comparisons as general guides: they cannot predict the exact score one person would get on both scales. If a university states its requirement on one scale, check how it reads the other.
