Practice makes perfect

There are two example questions for each task type. For each task-type question, two responses from different students are provided. One response is very good and the other is less good, identifying areas in which the student could improve.

There are detailed comments on each response, categorised by the assessment criteria (Content; Communicative Achievement; Organisation; Language), as well as a breakdown of the marks that each response could get in the exam.

The four exam-styled practice tests included in this resource will allow the reader to consolidate their approach to the different types of writing task that can be assessed.
