If average educated British nationals are appearing for the IELTS Examination how much percentage of them are likely to get a 6.5 band score ?

Best Answer:

It would be pretty hard to describe what an average, educated person might be, although that is a frequently-used term in the language learning world. The content is meant to reflect typical content of reports and lectures for Year 1 undergraduate level, so with a little exam preparation and question-type familiarization, most university-bound native speakers should get 6.5 or above. If you are intending to use IELTS as a more general language ability plus intelligence test, then you would have to remove 'educated' from your original question. There are much better tests than IELTS specifically designed for testing those areas.
