Paste your essay; get a 4-criterion IELTS-style band score with rubric feedback. Powered by Google Gemini, free, no signup.
Recommended: 50-5000 words.
Paste the full essay (50–5,000 words) into the textarea. The live word counter on the right turns green when your essay falls inside the supported range.
Choose IELTS Task 1, IELTS Task 2, TOEFL Independent, TOEFL Integrated, or generic. The scoring rubric adjusts per test type.
Drag the slider to your target band (4.0–9.0). The result card colours green if you hit it, amber if you are close, rose if you are far below.
You get an overall band score, a 2x2 grid of criterion scores with feedback, top strengths, top improvements ordered by impact, and a one-sentence revision example.
It is an estimate, not an official score. We frame Gemini as a certified examiner and give it the official IELTS band descriptors, so on well-formed essays it usually lands within ±0.5 of a human examiner. Use it for practice and progress-tracking — book a certified examiner for the score that goes on your application.
Five modes: IELTS Writing Task 1 (report or letter), IELTS Writing Task 2 (essay), TOEFL Independent Writing, TOEFL Integrated Writing, and a generic mode for college-application or general essays. Each mode adjusts how the four rubric criteria are weighted — Task 1 emphasises data reporting, Task 2 emphasises position and argument.
Task Achievement / Task Response (did you fully address the prompt?), Coherence & Cohesion (logical structure and paragraphing), Lexical Resource (vocabulary range and accuracy), and Grammatical Range & Accuracy. Each is scored 4.0–9.0 in 0.5 increments. The overall band is the average of the four, rounded to the nearest 0.5.
CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) maps English proficiency to six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. The tool estimates your essay's level — B2 maps roughly to IELTS 5.5–6.5, C1 to 7.0–8.0, and C2 to 8.5+. It is a useful proxy if you are using the tool to track multi-language fluency rather than IELTS specifically.
No. The essay is sent to Google Gemini for scoring (server-to-server, never directly from your browser) and the response is returned to your screen. We do not log essay text. Per Google's API terms, paid Gemini API requests are not used to train Google models.
