Frequently asked questions
How do I practise IELTS Writing Task 1?+
Pick one chart type at a time. Spend two minutes finding the overview (the biggest trend or contrast), write the report in 20 minutes, then compare it with the Band 8 sample answer for the same chart: did you select the same key features and figures?
How many words and how long for Task 1?+
At least 150 words in about 20 minutes. 170 to 200 words is the safe range; leave 40 minutes for Task 2, which carries twice the marks.
How is IELTS Writing Task 1 scored?+
On four criteria: task achievement, coherence and cohesion, vocabulary, and grammatical range and accuracy. A missing or unclear overview is the most common reason a report stays below Band 7.
Which Task 1 chart types come up?+
Line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, tables, process diagrams, maps and mixed charts that combine two of them. Each type has its own section below with tips and sample answers.
