Everyone knows that the writing test is the hardest part of the IELTS exam, but how can you find out what your score is and learn how to improve? The best way is to use a writing correction service and have an expert give you professional feedback. However, some people want a free IELTS writing assessment.

I have developed the test below in order to predict your score. That’s right, I believe that if you do this test, I will be able to estimate your band score for IELTS writing task 2.

This quiz contains many questions about the four sections of the IELTS writing marking rubric:

These questions have been carefully designed to test your knowledge of each part of this test. The final score will be a mark out of 100 points. Some questions are quite easy, so they are worth 1 point while others are more difficult, so they are worth 2 or 3 points.

IELTS Writing Quiz

This quiz is divided into 4 sections. You must do each section before you leave this page, or you will not be able to finish the test. Once you have answered all of the questions, you will see your score and also an explanation for each answer that you got wrong.

This test is very difficult so you will probably get many questions incorrect. However, you should not feel bad about this. It is designed to be difficult, just like the real IELTS test. Besides, for each question you get wrong, you can read an explanation or click a link to learn more. This could be a great way to improve!

Once you have done the question, you can check your score against the values below.

IELTS Writing Score Calculator

The only way to really know someone’s IELTS writing score is for an expert to read their essay/letter, but this quiz has been designed to give a good prediction of what your score would be if you took the real test. That is because it tests your knowledge of what the examiners want to see as well as your actual skill with grammar and vocabulary.
