Your IELTS Band Score Is Only the Beginning
Most IELTS writing checkers give you a score and a long list of corrections. That still leaves one important question: What should I fix first? IELTS Writing Coach helps you answer that.
See the Problem Inside Your Own Essay
Estimated Band: 6.0Biggest blocker
Your ideas support your position, but they are not developed deeply enough for Band 7.
Why this needs more development
This idea is relevant, but it stops too early. You make the claim without explaining why or showing the consequence.
Improved
“University education can improve social mobility because students from lower-income families can gain qualifications that would otherwise be financially inaccessible.”
The goal is not simply to correct one essay. It is to help you recognise the same problem when it appears again.

IELTS Writing Feedback Based on Four Assessment Areas
Your report is structured around the four areas used to assess IELTS Writing.
Task Response
How clearly and fully you answer the question and develop your ideas.
Coherence and Cohesion
How logically your ideas are organised and connected.
Lexical Resource
How accurately and effectively you use vocabulary.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
How well you use different sentence structures with control and accuracy.
Your report turns these areas into feedback you can actually use.
An IELTS Writing Checker reviews an answer against the writing assessment criteria, provides an estimated band for practice, and highlights what to improve first. It does not issue an official IELTS score.
Free IELTS writing and speaking tools
Practise before you write, check as you draft, and get feedback when you are ready. Every tool is free to try; a paid plan adds the full output where it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the IELTS Writing Checker free?
The first diagnosis is free. After that, choose the 14-day Sprint ($9.99, 10 full diagnoses) or the Full Prep Pack ($19.99, 30 full diagnoses over 60 days). Both are one-time payments. A full report for a single essay can also be unlocked for $5.99 on the result page.
How is the band score estimated?
The report reviews the four IELTS Writing assessment areas: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. It gives an estimated band for practice and self-review. That estimate is not a guarantee of an exam result.
Is this an official IELTS score?
No. These are estimated scores for learning and self-review, not official IELTS scores. Only an official IELTS test can provide an official band score. This site is not affiliated with IELTS, the British Council, IDP, or Cambridge English.
