You’re practicing TOEFL emails. You follow the templates from YouTube. Your score still won’t go up.
Here’s what nobody tells you: the e-rater is trained to detect those templates. When your opening sounds like a C1 graduate student and the rest reads like a B1 beginner, the scoring system flags it as inconsistent — and it lowers your score instead of raising it.
The TOEFL Writing Autopsy: Email Autopsies breaks down 6 real Write an Email responses — scored at levels 2, 3, and 5 — showing you exactly where each one loses points and why.
Every error is color-coded by category (grammar, vocabulary, task), analyzed against the official ETS rubric criteria, and corrected with a rewritten version that shows you what a top-scoring email actually looks like.
What’s inside:
— 6 full autopsies across 2 email prompts, each with 3 score levels
