How the estimate works
The grader reads your essay against the official ETS holistic descriptors for scores 0 to 6, treating it as a timed 30-minute first draft (an occasional slip does not lower the score, only severe and persistent problems do). It is an AI estimate, not an official ETS score, and it does not replicate ETS's e-rater engine. The real test scores with one human reader plus e-rater. See our editorial standards.
