Writing is the paper where candidates most often stall a band below their target, and this guide names seven as its declared destination.
Its 189 pages work through both writing tasks, the report or letter of Task 1 and the argument essay of Task 2, setting out planning routines, paragraph patterns and the criteria examiners apply when marking. Knowing how those criteria are weighted changes how a candidate spends the sixty minutes, and much of the book is concerned with that redistribution of effort.
How it helps:
• Preparation pitched at a writing score of seven or above
• Coverage of Task 1 and Task 2 in a single volume
• Planning routines meant for use inside the exam hour
• Explanation of the criteria used to mark written answers
Suited to candidates retaking the test after a disappointing writing band, and to writing tutors, available at Boipoka.
