What the IELTS Writing test looks like
IELTS Writing lasts 60 minutes and has two tasks. In Academic Task 1 you describe a chart, table, map or process in at least 150 words. In Task 2 you write an essay of at least 250 words. Task 2 counts for twice as much as Task 1, so it deserves about 40 of your 60 minutes.
The four criteria your essay is scored on
| Criterion | What it looks at |
|---|---|
| Task Response (Task Achievement in Task 1) | Whether you answer the whole question and support your ideas |
| Coherence and Cohesion | How clearly your ideas are organised and linked |
| Lexical Resource | The range and accuracy of your vocabulary |
| Grammatical Range and Accuracy | The variety and correctness of your grammar |

Common questions
How accurate is the band estimate?
Essays are scored against the public IELTS band descriptors, so the result is a good guide to where you stand and what to improve. It is an estimate, not an official result.
Can a teacher check my essay?
Yes. You can send an essay to a teacher for review and see their score and comments in your history.
Does it cover both Task 1 and Task 2?
Yes. Both tasks are scored on the four official criteria.
