Around Band 6/6.5
- Ideas are relevant but may stop before they are fully developed.
- Vocabulary and grammar show range, with uneven control.
- Practice repeats whole tests without isolating the cause of lost marks.
Moving toward Band 7+
- Ideas are extended clearly and stay connected to the task.
- Language choices become more flexible, precise and consistently controlled.
- Practice targets one weakness and uses feedback to verify improvement.
