\nAcademic Writing
\nHowever, before we start to talk about these skills in the marking guide of IELTS test, let us take a brief introduction on the various types of writing tests in the IELTS: Academic and General Trainings. The Academic Writing lasts for 60 minutes.The first task requires candidates to write a description of at least 150 words. This is based on material found in a chart, table, graph or diagram and demonstrates their ability to present information and to summarise the main features of the input.For the second task, candidates write a short essay of at least 250 words in response to a statement or question. They are expected to demonstrate an ability to present a position, construct an argument and discuss abstract issues.
\nGeneral Training Writing
\nOn the other hand, writing test of the General Training lasts for 60 minutes.\u00a0The first task requires candidates to write a letter of at least 150 words either asking for information, or explaining a situation.For the second task, candidates write a short essay of at least 250 words in response to a statement or question. They are expected to demonstrate an ability to present a position, construct an argument and discuss issues. One of our candidates have this to say about his test.Duration and Format
\nThus, in general the Writing test takes 60 minutes for all writing types. And, there are two tasks to complete. It is suggested that about 20 minutes is spent on Task 1 which requires candidates to write at least 150 words.Task 2 requires at least 250 words and should take about 40 minutes. Candidates may write on the question paper but this cannot be taken from the examination room and will not be seen by the examiner. Answers must be given on the answer sheet and must be written in full. Notes or bullet points in whole or in part are not acceptable as answers.
\nAcademic Writing Abilities
\nIn Task 1 candidates are asked to describe some information (graph \/table \/chart \/diagram), and to present the description in their own words. Depending on the type of input and the task suggested, candidates are assessed on their ability to:<\/p>\n

organise, present and possibly compare data
\ndescribe the stages of a process or procedure
\ndescribe an object or event or sequence of events
\nexplain how something worksWriting Task 2
\nIn Task 2 candidates are presented with a point of view or argument or problem. Candidates are assessed on their ability to:<\/p>\n

present the solution to a problem
\npresent and justify an opinion
\ncompare and contrast evidence, opinions and implications
\nevaluate and challenge ideas, evidence or an argument<\/p>\n

The topics are of general interest and it makes no difference what subjects candidates study.Marking and Assessment
\nEach task is assessed independently. The assessment of Task 2 carries more weight in marking than Task 1. Writing responses are assessed by certificated IELTS examiners.All IELTS examiners hold relevant teaching qualifications and are recruited as examiners by the test centres and approved by British Council or IDP: IELTS Australia.
\nDetailed performance descriptors have been developed which describe written performance at the nine IELTS bands. Public versions of these descriptors are available on the IELTS website.
\nThe descriptors apply to both the Academic and General. She gave us 90% in our coaching skills to help prepare you for these writing strategies and more.
\nThe Four Writing Criteria
\nTraining Modules and are based on the following criteria. Task 1 responses are assessed on:<\/p>\n

Task Achievement
\nCoherence and Cohesion
\nLexical Resource
\nGrammatical Range and Accuracy<\/p>\n

Task 2 responses are assessed on:<\/p>\n

Task Response
\nCoherence and Cohesion
\nLexical Resource
\nGrammatical Range and AccuracyTask 1
\nTask Achievement
\nThis criterion assesses how appropriately, accurately and relevantly the response fulfils the requirements set out in the task, using the minimum of 150 words.Academic Writing Task 1 is a writing task which has a defined input and a largely predictable output. It is basically an information-transfer task which relates narrowly to the factual content of an input diagram and not to speculated explanations that lie outside the given data.General Training Writing Task 1 is also a writing task with a largely predictable output in that each task sets out the context and purpose of the letter and the functions the candidate should cover in order to achieve this purpose. She was sceptical about her IELTS class but she got the result after all after learning and sticking to these warnings and injunctions for all IELTS skills.
\nCoherence and Cohesion
\nThis criterion is concerned with the overall clarity and fluency of the message: how the response organises and links information, ideas and language. Coherence refers to the linking of ideas through logical sequencing. Cohesion refers to the varied and appropriate use of cohesive devices (for example, logical connectors, pronouns and conjunctions) to assist in making the conceptual and referential relationships between and within sentences clear.Lexical Resource
\nThis criterion refers to the range of vocabulary the candidate has used and the accuracy and appropriacy of that use in terms of the specific task.
\nGrammatical Range and Accuracy
\nThis criterion refers to the range and accurate use of the candidate\u2019s grammatical resource as manifested in the candidate\u2019s writing at the sentence level. My Advice to IELTS test takers is this video please.
\nTask 2
\nTask Response
\nIn both Academic and General Training Modules Task 2 requires the candidates to formulate and develop a position in relation to a given prompt in the form of a question or statement. Ideas should be supported by evidence, and examples may be drawn from the candidates\u2019 own experience. Responses must be at least 250 words in length. Scripts under the required minimum word limit will be penalised. Scores are reported in whole and half bands.Our Trainings
