Listening and Reading are converted with the commonly published tables. They’re approximate: the exact cut-offs vary slightly between test versions.

Overall band

6.5

CEFR B2 level

Listening: 7.0
Reading: 6.5
Writing: 6.0
Speaking: 6.5

(7.0 + 6.5 + 6.0 + 6.5) ÷ 4 = 6.5

An average of 6.5 is already a whole or half band.

How it’s calculated: the overall band is the average of the four, rounded to the nearest half band. An average ending in .25 rounds up to the next half band and one ending in .75 rounds up to the next whole band, so 6.125 is 6.0, 6.25 is 6.5 and 6.75 is 7.0.
