# Writing Test Report
### Overview
The Speechace Writing Test Report provides test takers an actionable overview of their writing skills. It includes:
* Overall score for selected rubrics
* Question-wise scores
* Individual scores for **Vocabulary**, **Grammar**, **Task Achievement**, and **Cohesion** per question
The report also provides corrective feedback on Vocabulary, Grammar, and Cohesion, directly linked to the test taker's own response.
### Illustration of Feedback
Let us consider a sample writing test report for the test taker [Jeevan Chopra](https://speak.speechace.co/placement/report/a49fba90974e04ef8af8db97ae8177/) to understand the contents of the report:
* **Overall Scores for selected rubrics**: The section in the image below shows the overall test scores across different rubrics including Speechace, CEFR, IELTS, PTE, TOEFL and TOEIC. It also includes scores for skills such as vocabulary, Grammar, Task Achievement and Cohesion for that test attempt.
* **Question-wise scores** and **skill breakdown**: Every question response includes a total score for that response and separate scores for vocabulary, grammar, task achievement and cohesion. \
In each response, words or phrases that need improvement are highlighted with **Orange** underline. This shows detailed feedback for vocabulary, grammar, and cohesion, as shown in the image below.
### Illustration of Corrective Feedback
One of the unique features of Speechace's detailed report is that it provides corrective feedback on the test taker's written response.
Corrective feedback refers to the suggested corrections provided in the writing report for errors in vocabulary, grammar, and cohesion within a test taker's response. This allows the test taker to compare their original response with the corrected version, helping them understand how to structure their response accurately.
Speechace provides corrective feedback for the categories listed below:

Let’s consider the following sample question and its response from [Jeevan Chopra's](https://speak.speechace.co/placement/report/a49fba90974e04ef8af8db97ae8177/) test report, to see how such feedback is provided:

**Question**: *Do you think changes in family structure over recent decades have been positive or negative?*
**Sample Response**\
\&#xNAN;*Over the past few decades, changes in the family structures such as the rise in single-parent households and the smaller households have changed significantly. I like to believe that these changes are negative, since being a single-parent by itself can already be a hard challenge. While they could perfectly take care of their kids properly, still, they would not be able to be as present as it would be needed for their development. Being a single-parent will have to work harder to maintain their kid or kids by themselves, since they will have to get them good education, proper meals, and a home to live in. Although there always a possibility to ask someone for help.*
