IELTS Checker FAQ

Is this IELTS band checker really free?

Yes. Task 1 and Task 2, estimated band, four criteria and corrections, no signup.

How accurate is the estimated band?

It uses the selected question and public band descriptors to estimate your writing level. Treat it as practice feedback, not an official score.

Task 1 or Task 2?

Pick above the input. Task 1 expects 150+ words describing a visual; Task 2 expects a 250+ word essay. The counter tracks both minimums.

What do TA, CC, LR and GRA mean?

The four IELTS writing criteria: Task achievement, Coherence and cohesion, Lexical resource, and Grammatical range and accuracy. Your overall band is their average.

How do I go from 6.0 to 7.0?

Read the feedback first: it ranks your biggest point losses. Usually that means extending ideas with examples, fixing agreement errors, and varying sentence structures.
