How to approach Table

The risk with tables is describing everything. Decide which rows and columns matter, lead with the standout figures, and group the rest into patterns.

  1. 1Scan for extremesFind the highest and lowest values across the table.
  2. 2Write a selective overviewSummarise the main patterns, not every number.
  3. 3Group rows or columnsDescribe categories that behave similarly together.
  4. 4Quote key figures onlySupport each pattern with a few representative numbers.
  5. 5Compare across categoriesPoint out where one row or column stands out.

Common mistakes to avoid

Reporting every cell.

No clear overview.
State the biggest patterns first.

How do I avoid listing the whole table?
Choose the highest and lowest figures and the clearest trends, then group the rest. Selection is part of Task Achievement.
Which figures should I quote?
Only the ones that support a pattern you are describing, such as the extremes and the biggest gaps.
How accurate is the AI band?
Your essay is graded against the four official IELTS Writing criteria with quoted evidence for each point. Treat it as a reliable practice estimate to track progress, not an official IELTS result.
Is Writing practice free?
Your first Writing test is free to attempt and your band is shown. The detailed report with corrections and a model answer is a small fee per report, or unlimited with Pro. Reading and Listening practice are always free.
