You get what’s called a “band score” from 1 to 9 that indicates the level of your English skills.
你拿到的分数叫“等级”，从1分到9分，反映着你的英语水平。
There can also be half band scores, so, for example, you could get a 7.5 instead of a 7.
有时还有半分，例如你可以拿到7.5分，而不是7分。
For each of the four components of the test you get individual band scores.
考试的四个部分你拿到单项分。
How do you get your overall band score?
怎么评出总分？
This is an average of your four individual scores.

To work this out, add your Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking scores together, then divide this by four.
