We're going to look at the scoring rubric that the IELTS evaluators will use to score your essay. The first step in achieving a goal is knowing exactly what your objective is. In this lesson, you will see exactly what you need to do to achieve the band that you want. This is useful because it will help you:

• focus on EXACTLY what you need to prepare
• have TARGETED practice
• EVALUATE yourself based on the criteria

Download the PDF file of the scoring rubric for IELTS writing and follow along with me as I explain what some of it means. I also suggest you print out this paper, highlight the band that you want to score, and post it someplace where you can regularly see it.
