Understanding Lexical Resource for Band 8.0+
Lexical Resource accounts for 25% of your total IELTS Writing and Speaking score. It's not just about using "big words"; it's about using the right words in the right context. Our AI meter helps you identify if your vocabulary is varied, academic, and precise enough for high-band scores.
The Academic Word List (AWL)
A set of 570 word families that appear frequently in academic texts. Using these words (like notwithstanding, paradigm, or implementation) signals to the examiner that you are ready for university-level study.
Collocation Accuracy
Collocation is how words naturally go together. For example, you "commit a crime" not "do a crime." Our meter flags unnatural combinations that sound like direct translations from your native language.

Expert Insights
Everything you need to know about mastering IELTS and PTE vocabulary.
1 How does the Vocabulary Strength Meter work?
Our tool uses a proprietary heuristic algorithm that cross-references your text against the Academic Word List (AWL), checks for lexical density, analyzes sentence complexity, and flags repetitive usage to estimate your 'Lexical Resource' band score.
2 What is 'Lexical Resource' in IELTS?
Lexical Resource refers to the range of vocabulary you use and how accurately you use it. To score Band 7.0 or higher, you must use less common lexical items with some awareness of style and collocation.
3 Is this tool accurate for PTE as well?
Yes. PTE Academic is scored by AI, which looks for specific academic keywords and formal vocabulary. This tool helps you identify if your essay has enough 'academic weight' to satisfy the Pearson algorithms.
4 Can I use this for Writing Task 1?
While primarily designed for Task 2 (Essays), it still provides valuable feedback on the 'academic tone' and vocabulary variety required for Task 1 (Reports/Letters).
5 What are 'Less Common Lexical Items'?
These are words that are not part of basic daily English but are common in academic writing (e.g., instead of 'bad', use 'detrimental'; instead of 'show', use 'illustrate').
