IELTS Writing tests are marked by highly trained and monitored examiners, regardless of where the test is taken. At least two examiners will mark your Writing test, and sometimes up to three or four, to ensure the highest level of accuracy and fairness. Your Writing test response is scored in four areas:
- Task response
- Coherence and cohesion
