What This Task 2 Checker Evaluates
Paste a complete Task 2 essay for an opinion, discussion, advantage-disadvantage, problem-solution, or two-part question. The checker tests whether the response matches the question type, answers every part of the prompt, holds a clear position, and develops each main idea properly.
It then checks paragraph progression, lexical precision, sentence control, and recurring grammar errors. The point is not to flood you with comments. It is to show which criterion is costing the most marks and what to fix first.
Most Task 2 drafts stuck at 6.0 to 6.5 are really losing marks in Task Response. If the argument is thin, grammar cleanup will not move the band enough.
Task 2 criteria this checker scores
Task Response
Problem: The position is clear but one main idea stays general without a developed example.
Fix: Answer every part of the prompt and support each body paragraph with one specific explanation.
Coherence and Cohesion
Problem: Paragraphs follow a template but ideas do not progress logically.
Fix: Use clear topic sentences and link each paragraph back to your thesis.
Lexical Resource
Problem: Vocabulary is safe but repetitive across paragraphs.
Fix: Replace repeated words with precise topic vocabulary used in natural collocations.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Problem: A mix of structures, but errors in complex sentences reduce control.
Fix: Stabilize your strongest sentence patterns before adding more variety.
