B2 Level Examination Writing Section
The writing section is scored out of a total of 15 points. 33. Task 1 10 points There are five criteria, each of which receives two points. Candidates whose writing ability for a criterion is considered to be below the minimum acceptable standard for B1 level receive zero points for that criterion. Candidates whose writing ability is judged to be at the minimum standard for B1 level receive one point for that criterion, while candidates whose ability for a criterion is considered to be above the minimum level for B1 receive two points for that criterion. The number of points for each criterion is added together to give a total score out of ten. A successful candidate at minimum B1 level can: Can convey simple information of immediate relevance, getting across the point he/she feels to be important Can produce continuous writing, which is generally intelligible throughout. Can write straightforward connected texts on a range of familiar subjects within his field of interest, by linking a series of shorter discrete elements into a linear sequence. Can write personal letters describing experiences, feelings and events in some detail. Spelling, punctuation and layout are accurate enough to be followed most of the time.
