    What an IELTS Writing test looks like

    Two tasks in 60 minutes. Task 1 (at least 150 words, about 20 minutes) asks you to describe a graph, table, chart, map or process. Task 2 (at least 250 words, about 40 minutes) is an essay on a general topic, and it counts for twice as much as Task 1.

    Task 1 is not about opinions. It's about picking the main trends and comparing them, so an overview paragraph matters more than any single number. Task 2 is about answering the exact question asked: half the essays that stall at Band 6 answer a slightly different, easier question.

    The four things your band is made of

    Task Achievement / Response
    Did you do what the task asked: a clear overview in Task 1, a clear position and developed ideas in Task 2.
    Coherence and Cohesion
    Paragraphs that each do one job, and linking that helps rather than decorates.
    Lexical Resource
    Precise words used naturally. Rare words used wrongly cost more than plain words used well.
    Grammatical Range and Accuracy
    A mix of sentence types with few errors. Long sentences full of slips don't score.

    Each criterion is a quarter of the band.

    How to get more out of each practice test

    1. Write both tasks in one sitting, Task 2 first if that's your plan for exam day. Timing is a skill, and you only practise it with the clock on.
    2. Read the criterion scores before the overall band. The lowest one is the one to work on, and it's rarely vocabulary.
    3. Rewrite one paragraph using the feedback, then submit a new test. Rewriting the whole essay feels productive and teaches very little.
    4. Keep a list of the errors that come back test after test. Most people have five or six, and fixing them is the fastest half-band there is.

    Questions people ask

    Are these real IELTS Writing tasks?
    They are the Academic Writing tests from the official Cambridge IELTS books 1 to 21, written by Cambridge, the people who write the exam.
    How many writing corrections are free?
    A free Langujet account gets 10 AI Writing corrections a day. A deeper AI correction and a review by a real IELTS teacher are optional upgrades.
    How accurate is an AI band score?
    It marks against the public IELTS band descriptors, criterion by criterion, so treat it as a close estimate and a list of things to fix. If you want a human opinion before exam day, you can send the same essay to a teacher.
    Is this Academic or General Training?
    Academic. General Training has a letter in Task 1 instead of a graph, but Task 2 is the same kind of essay, so the Task 2 practice works for both.
