Short answer
IELTS Writing feedback is a service in which your Task 1 and Task 2 answers are assessed against the four official criteria (Task Achievement / Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy) and returned to you with concrete corrections and suggestions. With an estimated band and an analysis of your recurring mistakes, it helps you move forward instead of carrying the same errors from one essay to the next.
Who is this feedback for?
- Candidates whose Writing band lags behind their other skills
- Anyone who wants an objective pair of eyes on their writing
- Candidates who want a final polish and error check before the test
The feedback process
Feedback is not a one-off mark: you make progress by writing, correcting and rewriting.
- 1
Send your writing
Share your Task 1 and/or Task 2 answer.
- 2
Criterion-based assessment
Your answer is assessed against the four criteria and given an estimated band.
- 3
Corrections and suggestions
Mistakes are marked with the reasons behind them, and ways to improve are explained.
- 4
Revision
You rework your writing using the suggestions, and we track your progress.
What do we look for under each criterion?
Our feedback is not a single general comment but a concrete assessment split across each of the four official criteria. That way you see not only where you went wrong but also which criterion will lift your band if you improve it.
- Task Achievement / Task Response: have you answered everything the question asks, fully and in enough depth?
- Coherence and Cohesion: do your paragraphing and linking words support the flow of ideas?
- Lexical Resource: are the range and accuracy of your vocabulary right for your target band?
- Grammatical Range and Accuracy: are your sentence structures varied, and do your errors leave the meaning intact?
How does the feedback work, step by step?
Instead of a one-off correction, we follow a process built on repetition. First you write your essay; then you receive marked-up, criterion-based corrections, compare your work with a model answer and rewrite it using the suggestions. That is how you make real progress without repeating the same mistakes.
How should you read your estimated band range?
With every assessment we share an estimated band range for your writing, criterion by criterion. This estimate is not a score that guarantees your official result; it is a reference point that shows which level your current writing is close to. Its real value is that, when your work is measured against the same yardstick over time, you can see your progress: it becomes clear which criterion has improved since your previous piece.
A one-off correction or regular feedback?
If your test is only days away, a one-off check may be enough to catch your recurring mistakes and give your writing a final polish. But if you want to raise your band noticeably, regular feedback over several pieces of writing is far more effective, because progress comes not from seeing a mistake but from not repeating it in your next piece. We will tell you which approach suits you once we know your target band and your test date.
The mistakes feedback corrects most often
- Answering only part of the question and losing Task Response marks
- Using the same linking words (firstly, moreover) again and again
- Pasting in memorised openings without adapting them to the topic
- Writing fewer words than the minimum and losing marks as a direct result
- Making sentences needlessly long and raising the risk of grammar mistakes
