8 Very Good User Has fully operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriacies. Misunderstandings may occur in unfamiliar situations. Handles complex detailed argumentation well.

6 Competent UserHas generally effective command of the language despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunderstandings. Can use and understand fairly complex language, particularly in familiar situations.
5 Modest User Has partial command of the language, coping with overall meaning in most situations, though is likely to make many mistakes. Should be able to handle basic communication in own field.

Tulad ng ibang test pag nakakauha ka ng mas mataas mas maganda lalo na pag Canada ang target mo kasi may karagdagang points sa language category sa point system nila. Pwede kang magclaim ng 4 points (high) sa Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking proficiency kung makakakuha ka ng band 7-9 sa nabanggit na category. Samantalang 2 points (moderate) kung band 5-6.9 band ang makuha mo sa IELTS.
