IELTS Writing tests are marked by highly trained and monitored examiners, regardless of where the test is taken. At least two examiners will mark your Writing test, and sometimes up to three or four, to ensure the highest level of accuracy and fairness. Your Writing test response is scored in four areas:
- Task response
- Coherence and cohesion
- Lexical resource
- Grammatical range and accuracy
Each criterion is worth 25% of your total mark for that task. The examiner will give you a band score for Writing Task 1 and a band score for Writing Task 2. Then, your final IELTS Writing band score is calculated.
