2. Complete both Writing tasks 

Complete both tasks online in a quiet place just as you would in an IELTS test, without using a dictionary and sticking to a 1-hour time limit. 

  • In the IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, you will be asked to describe some visual information (graph/table/chart/diagram) in your own words. In Task 2, you will respond to a point of view, argument, or problem. 

  • In the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, you will be asked to respond to a situation, for example, by writing a letter requesting information or explaining a situation. In Task 2, you will be asked to write an essay in response to a point of view, argument or problem. 

Just like in the real test, you’ll have the opportunity to plan your task response. Once you’ve completed your essay plan, you’ll write your response to Task 1 and Task 2. There is an automatic word count to help guide you, just like in the IELTS on computer test.

 4. Receive your personalised feedback and action plan from an IELTS Coach 

Receive a detailed, personalised report on your writing skills indicating your strengths and weaknesses and strategies for improvement via an action plan.
