What is the penalty, if any, for adding a new idea to the conclusion in IELTS Writing Task 2 ?
It’s not that there is a penalty. The IELTS criteria only has a couple of penalties (Not on the public version of the criteria that you see though). What you do by adding another idea in your conclusion is two things.
- You are presenting an idea that isn’t developed and, therefore, you cap your Task Achievement at Band 6.0.
- You are structuring your essay poorly. Ideas come in the body of your essay. It isn’t rocket science.
So, just don’t do it. Structure your writing logically. This will get you much higher marks.
