8 tasks in three types, typed on screen in about 60 minutes.
Six full Writing sections, each a completely different set of tasks, in the current official format. Pick one and start without an account; sign in with an emailed code to see and keep your result.
Anyone can give you a prompt. We rate what you write on the same four things the real test does.
AI scores grammar, vocabulary, organisation and task fulfilment on the 0 to 200 scale, not spelling alone.
See a model answer beside your own for all 8 tasks, so you can borrow the structure into your next attempt.
The one-sentence picture caption, the reply email and the 300-word opinion essay, each with its own timing.
The report names the lowest of the four scores, so you target the one thing holding your band down.
Writing rewards clear, complete, well-organised answers more than fancy vocabulary. These habits raise the band fastest.
In the email tasks, hit every point the request asks for. Missing one point caps your score no matter how good the writing is.
For Question 8, use an introduction with a clear position, two or three developed reasons, and a short conclusion. Structure alone lifts the band.
In the picture tasks, use both given words correctly in one clear, grammatical sentence. Accuracy matters more than length.
After AI rating, compare your response to the model answer. Copy its structure and linking words, not its exact content, into your next attempt.
Three task types spread across eight questions, each with its own clock and its own raw score. This is exactly how the official Writing test is built.
| Questions | Task | What you write | Time | Rated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Write a sentence based on a picture | One sentence per photo, using two given words or phrases. You can change their form and use them in any order. | 8 minutes for all five | 0–3 each |
| 6–7 | Respond to a written request | A full email reply that covers every point the request names, in a tone that fits the reader. | 10 minutes each | 0–4 each |
| 8 | Write an opinion essay | An essay of about 300 words or more that states, explains and supports one clear opinion. | 30 minutes | 0–5 |
The raw ratings from all 8 questions are added together and converted to one scaled score from 0 to 200, in steps of 10. ETS does not publish the exact conversion, so treat the AI estimate here as a close guide, not an official result. On navigation: you can move back and forth within Questions 1 to 5, but once you begin Question 7 you cannot return to Question 6, and the essay is a separate 30-minute task. There is no scheduled break, so the whole Writing test runs about 60 minutes end to end.
The fastest way to understand the 8 questions is to see one of each. These examples mirror the official format; the words, emails and topics change on every set you take.
Example: a photo of a crowded platform, with the words train and because. Write one sentence that uses both and matches the scene.
Example: a supplier writes that your order is delayed. Reply, and make at least two requests, such as a firm delivery date and the option of a partial shipment.
Example: some companies let staff work from home. Do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks? Give reasons and examples to support your view.
Writing is reported from 0 to 200 in steps of 10, and ETS groups the scale into nine levels. Here is what a writer at each level can typically do.
| Score | What a writer at this level can typically do |
|---|---|
| 200 | Communicates information clearly and supports an opinion with well-developed ideas. Natural English, a variety of sentence structures, and accurate grammar. |
| 170–190 | Communicates information effectively and supports an opinion. Generally well organised with a range of structures, usually with one small weakness such as an unclear link or a minor grammar or word-choice slip. |
| 140–160 | Gives straightforward information well, but is only partly successful at supporting an opinion: support can be thin, connections unclear, or word choice off. |
| 110–130 | Partly successful at giving information or supporting an opinion. Messages may leave out important detail or read as partly unclear. |
| 90–100 | At least partly successful at giving information, but mostly does not support an opinion. Organisation and development are weak. |
| 70–80 | A developing writer whose communication is still limited. Information tasks often fail through missing detail, unclear links, or frequent errors. |
| 50–60 | Limited writing: serious disorganisation or underdevelopment, little detail, and frequent grammar and word errors. |
| 40 | Very limited. Cannot yet produce reliably correct sentences. |
| 0–30 | Left parts of the Writing test unanswered. Reading skills may need to grow to follow the directions. |
Around 150 and above is widely treated as a strong Writing result for work, while below about 90 usually means the opinion essay is where the most points are waiting. Speaking and Writing are scored separately, with no combined score. For more, see what your score means and the score you need.
These are the errors the official rubric punishes hardest. Fixing them lifts your band faster than writing longer answers does.
In Questions 1 to 5, a sentence that leaves out a key word drops to 1 out of 3, however neat it is. Use both given words, in any form or order.
In Questions 6 and 7, leaving out one requested point caps you at 3 out of 4, and missing more pulls it lower. Count the points the email asks for, then answer each one.
Stating an opinion with little support keeps Question 8 around 3 out of 5. Develop two or three reasons with real examples to reach the top bands.
Writing in the wrong register hurts the email score, and a response that only copies the prompt wording scores 0. Answer in your own words, in a suitable tone.
Three task types across eight questions. Here is what each expects and the habit that keeps the score high.
Write one grammatical sentence about a photo, using two given words in any form or order. Marks come from accuracy, not length, so a short correct sentence beats a long risky one.
Read a request and reply covering every point it names, in an appropriate tone. Missing one required point caps the score however good the English is.
State and support a clear opinion in at least 300 words: an introduction with your position, two or three developed body paragraphs, and a short conclusion.
Writing rewards structure and completeness. Three steps to a stronger 0–200.
Type all 8 tasks under real timing to get an AI 0–200 estimate and see which task type pulls your score down.
Compare your response with the model answer and borrow its structure and linking words, not its content, into your next attempt.
AI scores grammar, vocabulary, organisation and task fulfilment separately. Fix the lowest one first, then re-sit.
Everything you need next, from a full mock to the tools that turn a practice score into a real one.
