全球考生整体表现
Test-taker performance 2009
IELTS is assessed on a nine-band scale and reports scores both overall and by individual skill. Overall Band Scores for Academic and General Training candidates in 2008 are reported here together with scores for the individual skills.
General Training candidates achieved higher scores in Speaking and Listening relative to their performance in Writing and Reading. On average, mean scores for Academic candidates showed less variation across the skills, but the Writing module was the most challenging.
Around three-fourths of candidates (75.4%) took the Academic Reading and Writing modules with nearly a fourth (24.6%) taking the General Training Reading and Writing modules. Both Academic and General Training candidates take the same Listening and Speaking modules.

09年全球A类与G类雅思考生比例仍然大体维持3:1的水平，但A类考生明显减少，相对08年（75.4%）的数据下降3.1个百分点，反映出留学之外雅思考试在移民、工作类场景的愈来愈大需求。
09年的全球雅思考生平均分在A类低于G类这一延续传统的背景下，体现于以往年份不同的变化趋势。在08年G类成绩相对往年大幅攀升的情况下，09年G类A类总分齐降。
按性别划分，09年女性雅思考生成绩一如既往大大领先男性，但G类成绩中两者差距相较A类为小。
