How are grammatical range and accuracy assessed in IELTS?

IELTS.WORK IELTS FAQ # 1711364681

In IELTS, grammatical range and accuracy are assessed through the following aspects:

1. Vocabulary: The candidate's use of a wide range of vocabulary, including idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, and collocations, is evaluated to determine their grammatical range.
2. Complexity: The complexity of the sentences constructed by the candidate is assessed, with an emphasis on their ability to use a variety of sentence structures, including compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.
3. Accuracy: The candidate's adherence to grammar rules, including tense usage, agreement in number and gender, and the correct placement of modifiers, is evaluated for accuracy.
4. Cohesion and coherence: The candidate's ability to use grammar to create coherent and cohesive texts is assessed, ensuring that their writing flows logically and smoothly from one sentence to another.
5. Error recognition and correction: In the IELTS writing module, candidates are required to identify and correct grammatical errors in a given text, demonstrating their awareness of grammar rules and accuracy.

These aspects are evaluated by trained IELTS examiners who assess the candidate's grammatical range and accuracy holistically and assign a band score ranging from 1 (non-user) to 9 (expert user).
