Lexical resource
The lexical resource category measures the level of your vocabulary.
- Have you used a range of vocabulary?
- Have you used words appropriately?
- Have you spelt them correctly?
If your answer to any of these questions is not yes, you are unlikely to get a good score for
lexical resource.
You will receive a score for each category, and these scores will be combined to decide your
overall writing score. Therefore, if you have received a poor score in one category it can pull
your overall score down, even if your other scores were very good.
You should keep these four criteria in mind whenever you do a writing task.
