08全球雅思成绩公布 中国考生成绩逆势微涨
Test-taker performance 2008
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.

08年全球超过四分之三（75.4%）的考生参加的是A类学术类雅思考试，约四分之一（24.6%）的考生参加的是G类移民类雅思考试。
08年的全球雅思考生平均分与07年成绩比较，不论是男生还是女生的成绩，都呈现出A类成绩略微下滑，G类成绩较明显上升的特点。

朗阁海外考试研究中心（RAFLE）评论：
中国大陆A类考生2008年的平均成绩为5.46分，低于全球平均水平。在40个考生人数最多的国家中排名倒数第六，仅比五个中东国家考生分数高（卡塔尔，阿联酋、阿曼、沙特阿拉伯、科威特）。
不过08年中国大陆考生的成绩与07年的平均分5.45分相比，倒是有了0.01分的上升，虽然上升幅度非常小，但在全球考生平均分下滑的背景下，中国考生的成绩也可以说是“逆势上扬”了一回。
