How is the writing test assessed?

The writing test consists of two separate tasks. Your writing task 2 answer is more important than your writing task 1 answer, in fact it is worth double the marks. To understand how this works, double your writing task 2 score, add it to your writing task 1 score and then divide the total by 3. So, if your task 1 answer is band 7.5 and your task 2 answer is band 6, your score would be 6.5 (7.5 + 6 + 6 = 19.5/3 = 6.5).
