Common questions
How is the IELTS Writing band calculated?
Each task is marked on four criteria (Task Achievement or Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy). Task 2 counts twice as much as Task 1 in the Writing band.
How does rounding work?
The Writing band is rounded to the nearest half band: an average ending in .25 rounds up to .5 and an average ending in .75 rounds up to the next whole band.
Is this an official score?
No. It shows how the arithmetic works from scores you enter yourself. Your real result comes from the test centre.
