IELTS Writing Practice Test Instant Band Score Feedback
Writing is the IELTS skill where targeted feedback delivers the fastest band score improvement. The difference between Band 6 and Band 7 isn’t about knowing more English — it’s about spotting hidden patterns you miss: overused linking words, vague vocabulary, or a Task 2 conclusion that strays off-topic.

How Our IELTS Writing Grading Works
Our AI-powered IELTS writing grader reviews your essay against the four IELTS criteria — Task Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range & Accuracy. You’ll get a practice estimate plus actionable, line-by-line feedback in under 30 seconds. Use the feedback to decide what to revise next.
The scorer applies a structured rubric based on the four IELTS Writing criteria and returns a practice estimate with criterion-level evidence. Here’s what happens when you submit:
1. Submit Your Essay
Choose any IELTS Writing prompt — Task 1 (Academic or General) or Task 2. Paste text or type directly into our editor. No forced word count, but we flag under/over-length responses to help you build IELTS test discipline.
2. AI Analyses Your Writing
Your essay is scored across all four IELTS Writing criteria. Each receives an individual band prediction — plus strengths and gaps explained in plain English.
3. Get Actionable Feedback — Fast
In under 30 seconds: your overall predicted band score, criterion-level breakdowns, grammar errors highlighted in context, vocabulary upgrades, and clear next steps — all tied to official IELTS band descriptors.
Master Every IELTS Writing Task Type
Task 1 — Academic
Summarise, compare, or explain visual data (graphs, charts, tables, diagrams, maps, or processes). Minimum 150 words. Focus: accuracy, clarity, and data-driven language — not opinions. Key IELTS skill: identifying trends and making meaningful comparisons.
Task 1 — General Training
Write a formal, semi-formal, or informal letter responding to a real-life situation (e.g., complaint, request, explanation). Minimum 150 words. Scored on tone, task completion (all bullet points), and logical organisation — critical for workplace or migration IELTS goals.
Task 2 — Essay (Academic & General)
Respond to an argument, problem, or point of view in a structured 250+ word essay. Worth twice as much as Task 1 in your final Writing band score. Common types: opinion (agree/disagree), discussion (both views), problem-solution, and two-part questions — all covered in our IELTS writing practice library.

What Every Feedback Report Includes
Your Predicted IELTS Band Score
An overall practice estimate plus separate estimates for each of the four IELTS Writing criteria. It is not an official IELTS result and can differ from an examiner-awarded score.
Clear 'Why' Behind Every Score
No vague comments. Instead: sentence-specific explanations of exactly what helped or hurt your score — e.g., 'This sentence weakens Task Response because it introduces an unsupported claim not linked to the prompt.'
Band 7+ Vocabulary Upgrades
Overused words (e.g., 'very', 'good', 'important') flagged with precise, topic-appropriate alternatives. Collocation errors corrected. Plus: tailored lexical suggestions based on your essay’s subject (e.g., environment, education, technology).
Grammar Fixes That Stick
Every error highlighted in context, with correction + simple explanation. More importantly: recurring patterns identified (e.g., 'articles before uncountable nouns', 'subject-verb agreement in complex sentences') — so you fix the root cause, not just one mistake.
Your Top 3 Band-Boosting Priorities
A ranked list of the most impactful changes you can make — focused on shifts that move your score the most (e.g., strengthening your introduction’s thesis statement, improving paragraph cohesion, or diversifying sentence structure).
Writing Patterns Worth Checking
These are practical review checks, not promises of a particular band increase:
- •Check that every part of the prompt is answered, including both sides of a two-sided question and every bullet point in a letter task.
- •Use referencing and clear topic sentences where they improve the logical connection between ideas; avoid adding connectors mechanically.
- •Criterion-based feedback helps you identify specific writing patterns to review, while generic rubrics can leave the next revision unclear.
