How Our Free IELTS Essay Checker Works
Our AI evaluates your essay using the same 4 criteria that real IELTS examiners use.
Task Response
Checks if you fully address the question, present a clear position, and develop relevant ideas.
Coherence & Cohesion
Evaluates paragraph structure, logical flow, and use of linking words.
Lexical Resource
Assesses vocabulary range, word choice accuracy, and collocations.
Grammar
Reviews sentence structures, tense accuracy, and grammatical range.
Learn the four criteria before you chase a higher band
Visitors trust the tool more when they can inspect the scoring logic. These criterion pages explain exactly what Task Response, Coherence, Vocabulary, and Grammar are measuring in IELTS Writing.
Task Response
IELTS Task Response Band 6 vs 7
Task Response is about answering the exact question, maintaining a clear position, and supporting each main idea with relevant development.
Coherence & Cohesion
IELTS Coherence and Cohesion Band 6 vs 7
Coherence and Cohesion measure how logically your ideas are organized and how naturally your sentences and paragraphs connect.
Lexical Resource
IELTS Lexical Resource Band 6 vs 7
Lexical Resource is about range, precision, collocation, and using less common vocabulary accurately instead of stuffing essays with difficult words.
Grammar
IELTS Grammar Band 6 vs 7
Grammatical Range and Accuracy reward writers who control a mix of sentence types with relatively few errors that distract the reader.
