Hi Lakshay...

IELTS Writing tests consist of two compulsory tasks . Each of these tasks are scored with respect to four different criteria.

The examiner assesses your IELTS Academic Writing & General Training Writing Test on the below listed criteria. Each criterion contributes 25% of your total marks for Task 1 and Task 2.

Task Achievement (for Task 1)

This criterion examines the overview and information that you provide, details of your content and the accuracy with which you have mentioned key features and illustrations.You are supposed to write 150 words for Task 1. Else there will be penalty for word count.

Task Response (for Task 2)

In this criterion, the type of response that you write for the essay type question is determined. It assesses the main idea of your essay and the way you develop it with relative examples.You are supposed to write 250 words for Task 2. Otherwise you will be penalized for under word count. To avoid such problems, you must learn how the examiner counts your word and how many words u should write.

Coherence & Cohesion

Your information organisation, paragraphing skills and use of proper lexical devices (for example, connectors, conjunctions) is determined.

Number of paragraphs are also taken into consideration. Dividing your essay into more or less paragraphs might lower your score.

Lexical Resource

The use of sufficient range of vocabulary, proper spellings, correct implementation of collocations and word formation are taken care of while scoring this criterion. You must avoid using wrong words and informal language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

To score this criterion, things taken into consideration include sentence structures, proper use of tenses, putting right punctuation’s, use of simple as well as complex statements with clear idea and control over Grammar.

Hope this helps.....Thank U
