AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You report most of the figures accurately, including the user groups and all five satisfaction categories, and you identify the strongest result: staff helpfulness at 95% very satisfied. However, the response is mainly a sequence of individual figures rather than a well-selected summary of the main features. The overview is limited, and the user-category data omit academic staff (7%) while repeating the 16% part-time postgraduate figure. Some descriptions also add information not shown, such as staff “behaviour” and the “amount and quality” of journals. To strengthen the response, give a concise overview comparing the largest user group with the smallest and highlighting the contrast between staff satisfaction and lower satisfaction with journals or Wi-Fi.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has some organisation: it begins with the pie chart, then discusses the satisfaction table, and each table topic is generally presented in a separate paragraph. However, progression is weakened by the repeated, item-by-item reporting and the final sentence, which repeats the staff satisfaction figures already given. Connections between the data are limited, so the reader is not guided towards the most important comparisons. Some sentence openings are also awkward, such as “The of amount and availability” and “The data presentated about the Relaibility of Wifi.” Group related results more efficiently, use a clear overview before the details, and avoid repeating figures. This would create a more coherent progression rather than a list of separate observations.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant task vocabulary, including “proportion,” “availability,” “fairly satisfied,” and “not satisfied,” so the topic is usually understandable. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate or imprecise: “Pie chart” is better expressed as “pie chart” in standard casing, “Table Chart” is redundant, and “brings the satisfaction” does not naturally describe survey results. There are also frequent spelling errors, including “Liberary,” “propertion,” “extreamely,” and “Relaibility,” which reduce clarity and control. Prefer precise reporting language such as “accounted for,” “rated,” and “the proportion who were dissatisfied,” and proofread spelling carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt some longer sentence forms, for example, “The opening hours … followed by the result … with a conclusion,” and the reader can usually identify the figures being reported. However, complex constructions are often faulty or incomplete, and sentence boundaries are not consistently controlled. “The of amount and availability of the material demostrates…” has a broken opening, while “The most prominent users … with the proportion of 44% followed by…” lacks a clear, complete structure. The final sentence also begins with a lowercase “the.” Use straightforward subject–verb sentences to establish accurate comparisons, then add subordinate clauses only when you can control their structure. Check articles, agreement, and punctuation as part of proofreading.
