Frequently asked questions
How can Writing be graded automatically if it’s not multiple choice?
It isn’t auto-graded — a teacher scores every essay in the Writing Evaluator against the four official IELTS criteria, and the four scores are averaged into a band automatically.
What if a student writes under the minimum word count?
The evaluator flags it directly next to the word count, so the teacher can factor it into the Task Achievement score the way a real examiner would.
Can teachers leave feedback anchored to specific sentences?
Yes — a teacher selects any part of the essay and attaches a comment directly to it, so feedback stays anchored to the exact words it’s about instead of living in a separate document.
When does the student see their band score?
As soon as the teacher publishes the grade and releases results for that test session — the student then sees their band, the task-by-task breakdown and the written feedback together.
