Task Response (TR)
Coherence and Cohesion (CC)
Lexical Resource (LR)
Grammatical Range and Accuracy (GRA)

Task Response (TR)
This criterion focuses on the degree to which the task has been answered properly.
The examiner has the following questions in mind when assessing this aspect of your essay:
1. Is there a clear and relevant position throughout the response?
2. Are there relevant and well-developed (presented, extended and supported) main ideas? Are any of the points underdeveloped or unclear?
3. Is there a tendency to overgeneralise?
4. Do any supporting ideas (e.g. examples) lack focus?
5. How have the different parts of the task been addressed:
a. addresses some parts only
b. unevenly addresses all parts
c. addresses all parts
d. sufficiently addresses all parts
e. fully addresses all parts
