From ETS's published score mapping between the two scales (Table 6 of the ETS research report on the banded scale). A conversion is an estimate of level; only a 2026 test gives a 2026 band. Source: ETS

How the conversion works

The old test reported four sections of 30 and a total of 120. The 2026 test reports a band from 1 to 6 per section and overall, in half steps, aligned to the CEFR. ETS published how the two relate so that universities can read either kind of report during the changeover. This tool applies that table. It cannot tell you how you would do on the new task types; the free mock answers that.
