The bar chart compares the percentage of students who chose between three science disciplines in a university from 1992 to 2012.

Overall, the figures for males fell, while females rose. As for science subjects, the proportion of students taking biology and physics decreased; however, the share of undergraduates who applied for computer science increased dramatically.

As far as gender is concerned, in 1992 males dominated at approximately 65%, and ten years later noticeably decreased to exactly 50%. By contrast, the female proportion received significant growth from 30% in 1992 to just over 50% in 2012.

Focusing on the subjects, both biology and physics, despite being the most favored disciplines, stood at around 65% and 25% in 1992; however, biology classes over the period continued to be the most favored class for students, falling to approximately 43%, and physics to exactly 20% over the period. Meanwhile, in 1992, undergraduates choosing computer science accounted for the lowest figures at 5%; in the final year, its popularity increased, surpassing physics at 5%.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by summarizing the main trends in both charts. It covers the key features: the decline in male students and rise in female students, as well as the changes in subject popularity. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data presented, such as the final percentage for computer science and the year mentioned (2012 instead of 2000). Additionally, the report could be more precise in comparing the data between the two years. Overall, the response is well-organized and relevant, with clear overall trends and supporting details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with clear paragraphing and effective use of cohesive devices. The progression of ideas is logical and easy to follow. To achieve a higher band, consider refining the flow between sentences and ensuring that referencing is consistently clear, especially when comparing data across years.

Lexical Resource

A wide range of vocabulary is used appropriately, with some sophisticated terms such as 'dominated', 'surpassing', and 'favored disciplines'. There is good flexibility in word choice. To further enhance, aim for even more precise and varied lexical choices, particularly when describing trends and proportions, and avoid minor repetitions like 'favored'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

A variety of complex structures is used with a good degree of control. Grammar and punctuation are largely accurate, with only minor errors that do not impede understanding. To reach a higher level, continue to refine sentence structures for greater clarity and ensure consistent accuracy in tense usage and subject-verb agreement.
