How many words should my Task 1 essay be?
The instructions say to write at least 150 words. You do not lose marks if your answer is under 150 words or if your answer is very long.
However, you should aim for between 160-190 words.
We do not accept Task 1 essays that over 220 words.
If you write a very long Task 1 essay, it means you are not using your time as effectively and efficiently as possible. Please remember that you have a limited amount of time, and using at least five minutes after finishing your answer to correct vocabulary and grammar mistakes will significantly improve your overall score.
