IELTS Writing band score calculator

Estimate your Writing band from Task 1 and Task 2 scores (Task 2 counts double). Optionally average four criterion scores for one task. This is a practice formula tool — not an official IELTS calculator.

Task 1 + Task 2 (weighted)

Formula: (Task 1 + 2 × Task 2) ÷ 3, rounded to the nearest 0.5

Estimated Writing band

7.0

One task: four criteria average

Average of four criteria, rounded to the nearest 0.5. Raise the lowest criterion first.

Estimated task band

7.0

Lowest criterion: 6.5 — that is usually your practice priority.

A formula is not a criterion score. Paste an essay to see if this band matches · Speaking band calculator · how IELTS writing is scored.

Why mock tests beat untimed polishing

Many candidates write beautiful untimed essays and then panic under the clock. Mock mode forces planning, typing speed, and prioritization, then your tutor report shows what still broke under pressure.

Recommended timing

Plan about 20 minutes for Task 1 and 40 minutes for Task 2 inside the 60-minute Writing test. Protect Task 2 time — it counts double toward your Writing band.

  • Hard-stop Task 1 near 20:00 even if unfinished
  • Spend ~5 minutes planning Task 2 before writing
  • Leave 3–5 minutes to check grammar and coverage

Recommended weekly cycle

  • One full timed mock
  • Same-day report review
  • Rewrite one weak paragraph
  • Short criterion drill mid-week
  • Next mock to measure progress
