Is “to what extent do you agree” the same as yes or no in IELTS Task 2?

No. “To what extent do you agree” asks how far, not only whether. Fully, partly, or not at all is a scale. Writing “I agree” with no limit treats the prompt as a yes/no opinion essay and often leaves the extent job undone. Name the distance in the introduction, then stay there. A practical shape for a partial view is one body for the part you accept and one body for the limit. Do not turn it into a discussion of both views unless the prompt also asks that. Do not sit in the middle with no distance named. We do not promise a band from a clearer scale. Practice IELTS is Writing and Reading only. Marks are practice estimates, not official bands.
