Which IELTS Writing Checker Is Most Accurate? Testing 73 Real Essays

I tested three popular IELTS writing scoring tools against 73 official essays with verified band scores from Cambridge IELTS and official practice materials. Here are the results: • IELTS Writing Checker had an average error of 0.49 bands, with 78.1% of scores within ±0.5 bands. • Engnovate showed an average error of 0.90 bands, with 38.4% within ±0.5 bands. • Writing9 averaged a 1.62 band error, with 24.7% within ±0.5 bands. Writing9’s lack of chart-image support affected Academic Task 1 testing. This comparison covers only these three tools and may vary with different essays. Full methodology and limitations are available. Feedback on the approach or suggestions for other scoring tools to test are welcome.

Given IELTS Writing Checker had 78.1% scores within ±0.5 bands, do you trust it more than human feedback for your own practice?

When you practise, do you value consistent scores more, or detailed comments that explain your mistakes?

An average error under half a band sounds impressive, but error distribution across tasks might hide bigger inconsistencies in certain essay types.

I no too believe say one tool go master every IELTS task after testing just 73 official essays, it still feels quite limited.

When using these scoring tools, try cross-checking machine feedback with a checklist on grammar, cohesion and task response to catch any blind spots.
