雅思考试的主办方每年都会对上一年度全球范围内的雅思考生成绩进行统计，以反映雅思考生的成绩分布特征。近期08年全球雅思考生成绩统计被公布在雅思考试官方网站上。以下是针对此次公布的成绩数据的一些重要信息的汇总，供大家参考。  
　　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。
