How to use AI Writing feedback: revise one issue, before and after

IELTSora's Writing feedback comments on the four public criteria and points at sentences in your own answer. Task 1 is marked for task achievement; Task 2 for task response; then coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, and grammatical range and accuracy. That commentary is a practice tool. The band it shows is labelled an estimate. It is not an official IELTS result, and a human examiner on test day can judge the same script differently.

You need a free account to submit a writing task. You can read this guide, the lessons and the task prompts before you sign in. Sign-in is Google, email and password, or an email code.

Writing feedback shares a daily allowance with the other AI tools, so that the service can stay free. When the allowance is used, the page says so and the requests reset within 24 hours. Lessons, Reading, Listening, mocks and the writing checklist stay available. If the AI service itself is paused, the service status page says that plainly. Nothing moves behind a payment.

When feedback is unavailable, use the on-page checklist against the same four criteria and mark one sentence you would change. The method below does not require the model to be online for the revision step. The model only helps you notice the issue.

Open the feedback and skip the overall estimate for the first five minutes. Read the criterion comments and the sentences they quote. An estimate of 6.5 with a clear note that your position disappears in paragraph three is more useful than the 6.5. The number is a summary. The quoted sentence is the work.

If two criteria both look weak, still choose one for this revision. Trying to upgrade vocabulary, grammar, organisation and task response in one pass usually changes the script so much that you cannot tell what helped.

Write the issue in your own words before you edit. Examples that are specific enough to revise: "The introduction never says which view I hold." "Every sentence in paragraph two starts with 'Also'." "The letter answers two bullet points and forgets the third." "I describe the chart bar by bar and never give an overview."

Examples that are too vague to revise: "Make it better." "More academic." "Band 7 vocabulary." If you cannot point at a sentence, you do not have an issue yet. Go back to the comment that quotes your text.

Keep the original. Copy only the weak sentences into a note, rewrite them, then read the paragraph aloud with the new sentences in place. Do not replace the whole answer with the improved version the tool may show. That version is an illustration of the comment. If you submit it as your own next draft, you learn the tool's wording, not the change.

Close the improved example after you have understood one difference. Then write the new sentences without looking. This is the same habit you need on paper, where no model is available.

Ignore synonym lists you did not need, and ignore any suggestion that changes the meaning of your example. A wider word is not an improvement if the sentence becomes less clear. Grammatical range means some accurate complex sentences, not a complex sentence in every line.

Ignore the overall estimate when you decide whether the revision worked. Ask a narrower question: does the new introduction answer the task? If yes, stop. Write a different prompt tomorrow and look for the same issue. If it appears again, it is a habit. If it does not, choose the next issue from a new piece of feedback.

General Training Task 1 is a letter; Academic Task 1 is a description of visual information; Task 2 is an essay in both modules. Pick the task you will sit, submit one answer, and run this one-issue revision. A letter problem is usually a missing bullet or a mixed tone. An essay problem is usually position, development or paragraph order. They are different issues, so do not treat one feedback report as a plan for every writing task.

The estimate on that report remains a practice estimate under a daily allowance. It will not be the band on a Test Report Form. Use it to choose the next draft, then go and write the draft.
