Marked by an instructor, not by software

Who the diagnostic is for, and how it starts

The diagnostic is a paid check of one IELTS Writing Task 2 response and one recorded Speaking set, marked by an instructor against the public band descriptors. You hold a written report before you buy any coaching hours.

It fits you if

  • You sit IELTS Academic, IELTS General Training or TOEFL iBT within the next twelve weeks.
  • You have a target band or score and want to know which task types pull it down.
  • You have scored 6.0 or 6.5 twice and cannot see what the examiner penalised.
  • You need a realistic timeline for a visa, a licence or a university place.

How it starts

  1. 1You book a slot and pay the fee in UAH. No subscription, no auto-renewal.
  2. 2You complete both tasks at home under timed conditions and send the recording.
  3. 3An instructor returns an annotated report in three working days, with rubric rows and two next steps.

Reports are estimates, not official results. No band score, visa decision or admission outcome is guaranteed.

02 / 04 Deliverables

What the instructor-marked diagnostic includes

Three deliverables, marked by a teacher rather than scored by software. Turnaround is five working days from the moment both timed tasks reach us.

  1. 01

    Writing tasks marked against the rubric

    You write one Task 1 and one Task 2 under timed conditions. They come back with task response, coherence, lexical resource and grammar rows scored separately, plus margin notes on the three sentences that cost you the most.

    You receive: annotated script, PDF, 2 to 3 pages

  2. 02

    Speaking interview with a written rubric

    A 14 minute recorded interview covering all three parts. The marker notes fluency, pronunciation, range and accuracy in writing, then quotes the exact moments where hesitation or repetition changed the impression you made.

    You receive: audio file, rubric sheet, timestamped comments

  3. 03

    Gap report and a study plan you can follow

    The report shows your estimated band per task type next to your target, then converts the weakest two rows into a week-by-week plan with drills, word counts and review dates. Estimates are honest ranges, not promises.

    You receive: gap report, plan, one 30 minute review call

Instructor-marked diagnostic

What the marked report actually looks like

Every diagnostic returns a task-level rubric sheet, not a single number. Below is an excerpt from a Writing Task 2 script and a Speaking Part 3 review, marked by the instructor who will run your sessions.

Task type: Writing Task 2, opinion essay Marked by: O.K. Date: 12 Feb 2026 Estimated band 5.5-6.0
Task-level rubric rows, Writing Task 2
CriterionMarkInstructor note
Task response6.0Position is stated, but the second body paragraph drifts into a neighbouring topic.
Coherence and cohesion5.5Links rely on "also" and "besides"; two transitions are not signalled at all.
Lexical resource5.5Accurate but repetitive; three collocations are misused in the second half.
Grammatical range6.0Simple and compound forms are clear; relative clauses collapse once sentences get long.

Annotated excerpt

Some people believe that universities should be free for all students1. I agree with this opinion because education gives a chance for everyone2, and it helps the country to develop faster.

  1. 1Restate the prompt idea in your own words instead of copying it.
  2. 2"Chance for everyone" is vague. Name the group you actually mean.
  • Fluency 6.0
  • Lexical resource 5.5
  • Grammar 6.0
  • Pronunciation 5.5

Marks above come from one timed attempt and are estimates only. They do not predict an official result, and no band score is guaranteed. Request your own marked diagnostic to see your rubric rows.

Next step

Request the instructor-marked diagnostic

One message is enough. Tell us your target band, exam date and which task types you want marked; you get back the timed task set, a marked report with rubric rows for each task, and a study plan that starts from the gaps in it.

  • Writing task marked against all four criteria, with corrections in the margin.
  • Speaking recording reviewed for fluency, lexis, grammar and pronunciation.
  • Report and plan returned as one document you can work from week by week.

Diagnostic band scores are estimates, not a promise of an exam result. You pay per report and per session block, with no auto-renewal.
