What's keeping your Task 2 score below Band 7?
It's rarely your English. It's what the examiner sees when they read your essay.
This free checklist, written by a former IELTS Writing Examiner and Cambridge University Press author, takes you through three checks that show where control can break down in your Task 2 writing:
Position Holding: does your view stay clear from the first sentence to the last?
Real Coherence vs Connective Padding: is your argument holding the essay together, or are your linking words?
Vocabulary Precision: are your word choices saying exactly what you mean?
