Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by presenting an overview and comparing the main features of the data. It covers all subjects and makes relevant comparisons between the two schools. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., craft/drawing figures, language figures) and a few awkward phrasings that slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure data accuracy and use more precise language to describe the figures and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall statement and logical grouping of subjects. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, though some transitions could be smoother. For example, the phrase 'Regarding non-academic subjects' and 'Turning to academic subjects' helps structure the response. Minor lapses in cohesion are present, such as the slightly awkward phrasing in the first paragraph, but overall the message is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task, with good use of synonyms (e.g., 'learners', 'pupils', 'scholars') and descriptive phrases (e.g., 'big disparity', 'dominant position'). There is a natural and sophisticated control of lexical features, though a few expressions could be more precise (e.g., 'the top leaderboard of being the most students' favourite subject' is slightly awkward). Overall, the lexical range is strong and contributes to a clear and effective description.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures used with good control. Sentences are varied and complex, and punctuation is generally accurate. There are no significant grammar errors, and the few minor issues (e.g., 'the figure of School A comparable to one-fifth of School B' could be clearer) do not detract from overall clarity. The grammar is accurate and appropriate throughout, meeting the high standards of the band.
