What this paper looks like
The workspace contains an Academic Task 1 data-summary prompt and a Task 2 essay. Responses are autosaved, word counts are calculated locally, and independent AI assessors apply the four public IELTS Writing criteria.
| Time | 60 minutes |
|---|---|
| Task 1 | At least 150 words; about 20 minutes |
| Task 2 | At least 250 words; about 40 minutes |
| Weighting | Task 2 counts twice |
| Result | AI-estimated practice band |
Automated feedback is educational guidance, not an official IELTS score. A third assessment is requested when the first two estimated overall bands differ by more than 0.5.
