IELTS grammar assessment considers sentence variety, control and punctuation across the complete response. These drills isolate useful practice points: agreement, articles, tense choices and clause connections. The band labels describe a practice focus; the item total is a drill result. Use what you learn in a full essay and review the feedback in context.
