How this question is scored:

Your response on Write Essay is judged on our ability to write a persuasive or argumentative essay on a
given topic. Your score is based on seven factors:

Content: Does your response address the topic?

Content is scored by determining if all aspects of the topic have been addressed in your response. The
appropriateness of the details, examples and explanations used to support your point of view is also
scored. If your essay does not address the topic, you will not receive any score points for your essay on
any of the seven factors. Your essay will be scored zero. The best responses are on topic, contain logical
and specific information and answer any questions asked. They also support any arguments with details,
examples and/or explanations.

Development, structure and coherence: Does your response demonstrate good development of ideas
and a logical structure?

Development, structure and coherence are scored according to the organization of your response. A well-
developed response uses a logical organizational pattern, connects ideas and explains these connections.
The best responses contain multiple paragraphs and have a clear introduction, body and conclusion that
relate to the topic of the essay. Within paragraphs, ideas are clearly presented and supported with details,
examples and/or explanations. Transitions between paragraphs are smooth.

Form: Does your response meet the length requirement of between 200 and 300 words?

Form is scored by counting the number of words in your response. You will receive full credit if your
essay is between 200 and 300 words. Writing less than 200 words or more than 300 words will decrease
your score. If your essay contains less than 120 words or more than 380 words, you will not receive any
score points for your essay on any of the seven factors. Your essay will be scored zero.

General linguistic range: Does your response use language that precisely conveys your ideas?

General linguistic range is scored by determining if the language in your response accurately
communicates your ideas. This includes your ability to provide clear descriptions, change emphasis,
eliminate ambiguity, express subtleties in meaning, and use stylistic features to communicate meaning.
You are more likely to receive full credit if you use complex sentence structures and vocabulary correctly,
rather than consistently using simple sentence structures and vocabulary. This is because complex ideas
are often expressed with complex sentence structures and vocabulary. The best responses use language
that highlights key ideas, creatively expresses opinions and ensures clear communication.

Grammar usage and mechanics: Does your response demonstrate correct grammatical usage and
consistent control of standard written English?

eduplanner.org01@gmail.com bhishanpoudel957@gmail.com
Grammar usage and mechanics are scored by examining sentence structure, punctuation and
capitalization. The best responses contain high proportions of grammatically correct complex sentences
that clearly communicate the intended meaning.

Vocabulary range: Does your response demonstrate command of a broad vocabulary range?

Vocabulary range is scored according to the variety of words in your response and their appropriateness
in an academic environment. Synonyms, idiomatic expressions and academic terms are also assessed if
appropriate. The best responses use precise academic terms and avoid repetition by using synonyms and
idioms where appropriate.

Spelling: Does your response demonstrate correct and consistent use of a single spelling convention?

PTE Academic recognizes English spelling conventions from the United States, the United Kingdom,
Australia and Canada. However, one spelling convention should be used consistently in a given response.

your summary to check your sentences for things like subject-verb agreement, tenses,
and word order.
