What is an English writing test?
An English writing test assesses how well you express ideas in written English. In this test you write 4 short pieces, from a self-introduction to an opinion on a social issue, and each one is scored on grammar, vocabulary, content and organisation. You receive a CEFR writing level from A1 to C2.

Find your writing level
Your overall score from 0 to 100 decides your CEFR writing level. This is what writing typically looks like at each level:
| CEFR level | Score | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 0–34 | Short, simple sentences about yourself and your surroundings; basic forms and notes. |
| A2 | 35–49 | Short messages and simple descriptions, with sentences linked by and, but and because. |
| B1 | 50–68 | Connected text about experiences, plans and opinions, organised around a clear point. |
| B2 | 69–78 | Clear, detailed text on many subjects, with an argument supported by reasons and examples. |
| C1 | 79–94 | Well-structured writing on complex subjects, with controlled linking and a broad, precise vocabulary. |
| C2 | 95–100 | Precise, natural writing that adapts its style to any reader or purpose. |
How your writing is scored
AI reads each of your four responses on its own and gives it four scores from 0 to 100. Grammar looks at accuracy across tenses, agreement, articles and complex sentences. Vocabulary looks at range, precision, register and collocations. Content looks at how fully and relevantly you answer the prompt and its hint points. Organisation looks at paragraphing, logical flow and how you open and close.
Each criterion is averaged across the four tasks, and the four averages are then averaged into one overall score. The criteria carry equal weight, so a strong vocabulary cannot hide weak organisation.
