The AI examiner grades all four criteria
Your answer is scored against the exact four official IELTS Writing descriptors, calibrated on hundreds of essays graded by certified examiners.
Get your band and the exact fixes
A per-criterion band (TR / CC / LR / GRA), an overall band, your strengths, and the precise sentences to change to reach your target.
Checked on exactly what an examiner marks
IELTS Writing is scored on four equally-weighted criteria. Our checker grades each one and tells you which is capping your band - so you fix the right thing, not everything.
- TR
Task Response
Whether you fully address every part of the task with a clear position and developed ideas - the #1 reason essays cap at 6.0.
- CC
Coherence & Cohesion
Paragraphing, logical flow, and the linking words that hold your argument together without sounding mechanical.
- LR
Lexical Resource
Range and precision of vocabulary - repeated or vague words are flagged with stronger, more natural alternatives.
- GRA
Grammatical Range & Accuracy
Variety of structures and error frequency - the checker points to the exact sentences dragging your band down.
“Lexical Resource is capped at 6.5 by repeated words like important and good. Swap in precise alternatives (crucial, beneficial) and vary your collocations to push LR to 7.0.”
Calibrated on examiner grades
Tuned against hundreds of responses scored by certified IELTS examiners - not a generic chatbot guess.
The official rubric, not opinions
Graded on the exact four IELTS descriptors, with a per-criterion band you can act on.

IELTS Writing checker - FAQ
Is the IELTS Writing checker free?
Yes. Your first Writing test - Task 1 and Task 2 - is free and gets the full AI examiner report: a band on each of the four official criteria, your overall band, and the exact fixes. No card and no sign-up are required to get your first check; you only pay if you want to check more essays across the full test library.
How does the AI IELTS Writing checker work?
You write or paste your Task 1 or Task 2 answer in the real exam interface and submit it. Our AI examiner grades it against the four official IELTS Writing descriptors - Task Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range & Accuracy - and returns a per-criterion band plus the specific sentences and word choices holding your score back, usually within a few minutes.
Is the AI band score accurate?
It's calibrated against hundreds of real essays scored by certified IELTS examiners and grades on the exact official descriptors, so the band closely tracks what a human examiner would award. It isn't a substitute for the official exam, but it's far more rigorous and specific than self-assessment or a generic AI chat tool - you get a structured per-criterion breakdown, not a vague opinion.
Can it check both Task 1 and Task 2?
Yes. The checker handles Academic Task 1 (describing a graph, chart, table or process), General Training Task 1 (formal, semi-formal and informal letters), and Task 2 essays for both modules. Each is graded on the criteria and word-count rules that apply to that specific task.
How is this different from checking my essay with ChatGPT?
A general AI tool gives an unanchored guess that changes every time you ask. Our checker grades strictly against the official IELTS band descriptors and is calibrated to real examiner-awarded bands, so the score is consistent and defensible. You also get a structured report - per-criterion bands, strengths, and the exact fixes - rather than a paragraph of generic advice.
