The four assessment criteria in telc B2 writing
How ready are you really?
Your Ready-Score shows you in a mock exam where you stand today. Free, no risk.
Put simply, four things are looked at: whether you cover all the given content points, how well structured and connected your text is, how apt and varied your vocabulary and expression are, and how correct your language is. Which task lies behind this is on the page on telc B2 writing. The minimum length is also important, more on this in reaching the 150 words reliably.
How to score in each criterion
Work through the content points fully, build the text clearly with connectors, vary your vocabulary and read through for errors at the end. A correction according to telc assessment criteria also starts exactly from these four criteria and shows you where you are missing points.
Common mistakes
Most people lose points because a content point is missing or the text does not hang together. Which other mistakes are typical is in the most common mistakes in the written part.
The bottom line
The four criteria in telc B2 writing are no secret: content, structure, expression and correctness. Whoever works on each purposefully scores points across the whole text.
