IELTS Task 2 Checker
Task 2 carries two-thirds of your writing score, so it is where most candidates gain or lose their target band. Paste your essay and get a full four-criteria breakdown in seconds.
What Task 2 examiners look for
Task Response checks whether you fully address all parts of the question with a clear position and developed ideas. The other three criteria — cohesion, vocabulary, and grammar — are scored the same way as Task 1.
The most common Task 2 mistakes
Under-developed body paragraphs, a position that shifts mid-essay, memorised linking phrases, and an answer that misses part of the question. Our feedback flags these specifically, quoting your text.
Frequently asked
How long should a Task 2 essay be?
At least 250 words. Going far under 250 caps your Task Response band, so aim for 260–290 words.
Can I use the same checker for Task 1?
Yes — switch the task type at the top of the checker.
