For most international students, Band 7 is the ideal score. A score in IELTS of 7.0 or 7.5 shows that your English is good enough to join most courses in English speaking universities even at elite Oxbridge and Ivy League institutions.
Only a small proportion of higher-education institutions require a score higher than Band 7 and these tend to be language-intensive courses like literature, linguistics, and law.
Your module score, or ‘sub-score’, can be either 7.0 or 7.5 depending on whether you meet these minimum requirements, or exceed them slightly.
Your overall IELTS score will also be classified as either 7.0 or 7.5 depending on the average band score among each of the four modules. For example, Listening Band 7 + Reading Band 8 + Writing Band 8 + Speaking Band 7 = IELTS 7.5.
