LanguageCert Writing practice test
In short
LanguageCert Writing has two tasks: a shorter response to information you're given, and a longer piece arguing or explaining a point. Proloquent gives you tasks in the real format with a timer and live word count, then marks your answer on the official criteria, with comments that quote what you wrote.
How the practice works
- Real-format tasks for LanguageCert Academic and General, at the level you're aiming for.
- A timer and a live word counter, so you practise managing both tasks in the time.
- Marked on the four official criteria: Task Achievement, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Organisation.
- Comments point to your own sentences and say what to change, not just a score.
The two tasks
In LanguageCert Academic, Part 1 is a 150–200 word report or article based on information such as a chart or a short text, and Part 2 is an essay of about 250 words that argues a position. You have about 50 minutes for both. General has two shorter, everyday tasks whose length depends on the level.
Where marks are usually lost
- Answering only part of the task, or not giving a clear opinion in the essay.
- Writing well under the word count.
- Repeating the same linking words and vocabulary.
- Small grammar errors that add up: articles, agreement, tenses.
A sample Writing report
What you see after submitting a task (Academic essay, example candidate).
Sample report for an example candidate. Yours is written about what you actually said or wrote.
A solid B2: organisation (coherence) is a strength; focus next on accuracy and range of grammar.
A clear, well-organised essay at B2. Develop the opposing view as fully as your own, and vary your vocabulary and linking to push towards C1.
What’s working
You discussed both views and gave a clear opinion. The second view was developed with only one example, so the argument felt one-sided in places.
Good academic vocabulary ('significant', 'contribute to', 'in the long term'), with some repetition of 'people' and 'problem'.
Clear paragraphs with an introduction and conclusion. Your linking is accurate but predictable ('Firstly', 'Secondly', 'In conclusion').
What to work on
Mostly simple sentences, with recurring subject-verb agreement errors after 'the number of' and missing articles before general nouns.
Next steps
- Give each side of the argument its own paragraph with an example.
- Replace repeated words with precise alternatives ('citizens', 'challenge', 'issue').
- Proofread for agreement errors after 'the number of' and 'each'.
