Academic Task 1 can be a map or a process, still at least 150 words. Task Achievement is the main stages or the main change, not every arrow, building, or box. For a process: a two-sentence overview of how many stages and where it starts and ends, then group the steps in the body. For a map: overview the biggest change — added, removed, or moved — then group north vs south or before vs after, instead of walking the key. Leave a small label out if it does not change the story. About 20 minutes so Task 2 still gets about 40. Practice IELTS is Writing and Reading only. Marks are practice estimates, not official bands. We do not book Academic IELTS.
