Score Estimation for TOEFL Writing

Unlike TOEFL speaking which is scored by SpeechRater™ AI, TOEFL writing is scored by human raters using a detailed rubric. However, understanding how raters score your essays before you take the real test is crucial for targeted improvement. ScoreQwik's Score Estimation feature uses AI analysis trained on thousands of TOEFL writing samples to predict the score your essay would receive on the 0-5 scale. Our prediction model is based on the official ETS rubrics and correlates strongly with actual human rater scores. After you submit an essay, our system analyzes your writing across the three key dimensions that ETS raters evaluate: Task Fulfillment (how well you complete the writing task), Development (how thoroughly you explain and support your ideas), and Language Use (your grammatical accuracy and vocabulary sophistication). You receive an overall score prediction on the 0-5 scale, along with individual dimension scores. This breakdown is invaluable for targeting your improvement efforts. If your Task Fulfillment score is 5 but your Development score is 3, you know you're addressing the prompt well but need to provide more thorough explanations and evidence. If your Language Use score is 2, you know that improving your grammar and vocabulary range should be a priority. This granular feedback allows you to practice strategically. Many students using ScoreQwik report significant score improvements by focusing their revision on the dimensions where they scored lowest, based on our score estimation feedback.
