1-B 2-B 3-B 4-B | 5 = 7.5 6 = 0.5 7 = (7.0+6.5+6.0+7.5)/4 = 27/4 = 6.75 → rounds to 7.0 8 = Task Achievement/Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy 9 = Band 7.0 (Good user) | 10 = Because Lexical Resource is only one of four equally-weighted criteria (25% each); even flawless vocabulary can't offset a weak Task Achievement, poor Coherence & Cohesion, or inaccurate grammar, so a balanced essay across all four areas scores higher than one that is strong in only one.
