ScoreFluentOne answer, marked by an examiner.
Every speaking and writing answer comes back as an examiner report, paid for with credits. Your answer is marked part by part, the way a PTE examiner would mark it, with the evidence behind every score. Here is one Describe Image report.
Sample report. The chart, the answer and every score on this page were written for this page — no real student, no real recording, no real data.
Um, this bar chart is showing about the recycling rate for different materials in the UK in 2024. So we can see that glass is the highest one, it's about eighty percent, and then paper is also quite high. Plastic is much lower than the other ones. And, uh, metal is somewhere in the middle I think. So overall the chart is showing that some materials are recycled more than other materials. That is all.
Invented answer — mid band, with the faults a real mid-band answer has.
The score, and why you got it.
Content coverage was the main gap.
Content is a third of the overall mark.
- 1State the plastic figure — 24% — instead of "much lower than the other ones".
- 2Compare two bars directly: glass is recycled at more than three times the rate of plastic.
- 3Cut "um", "uh" and "I think"; spend those seconds on the metal and paper values.
Glass is named with a figure, but plastic and metal are left as "much lower" and "somewhere in the middle".
The bars are listed one after another; the gap between glass and plastic is never quantified or explained.
"Materials" and "showing" each recur four times, and "quite high" stands in for a figure that was on the chart.
A listener learns glass leads and plastic trails, but could not redraw the four bars from this alone.
One of four bars is quantified and no comparison is drawn, which caps content at the middle band.
- Glass has the highest recycling rate, at 78%
- Paper follows at 66%
- Metal sits at 52%, roughly double plastic
- Plastic is lowest, at 24%
- The gap between highest and lowest is over 50 percentage points

Every word in the transcript is scored — these are the three the report flagged.
Counted from the full transcript pass the report runs.
Her content coaching, played back over the part of the tape it refers to.
Delivery alone said 70. The examiner said 63.
Pronunciation and fluency alone would give 70. Content is a third of the mark on this task, and it is the third that moves. The report scores it, shows the sentence that earned each axis its number, and names the three fixes in order of what they are worth.
