Content
Whether the response answers the task fully, develops the required points, and gives the reader the information they need.
Communicative Achievement
Whether the text type, register, tone, and conventions achieve the intended effect on the target reader.
Organisation
How logically the response is arranged and how effectively ideas connect within and between paragraphs.
Language
The range, precision, flexibility, and accuracy of vocabulary and grammar used for the selected exam level.
