Band range diagnosis

The most useful part of a band checker is the evidence behind the number.

An estimated band can show a risk zone; official scoring still comes from the test. A score-gap diagnostic should focus on which criterion holds you back, where the essay proves it, and what the next version should show.

Treat the band as an entry point to the evidence; the conclusion comes from the evidence.

A score is a zone

Diagnostic evidence should acknowledge uncertainty and avoid presenting an estimate as an official result.

Evidence decides the rewrite

The same 6.5 may come from thin development or from sentence accuracy. Essay evidence is what tells you the next repair.

Why watching only the band misleads

After seeing a number, learners often ask how to gain 0.5, but miss whether the repair is task response, development, cohesion, or language control.

What to revise after checking

If the estimate sits around 6.0-6.5, set one revision target before moving to a new prompt.

  • Whether TR/TA caps the response
  • Whether CC comes from unclear idea relationships
  • Whether LR/GRA affects understanding
