Raw marks first, then a careful estimate

Each correct Critical Thinking or Problem Solving answer earns one raw mark. We also show a TaraPrep estimate on the 1.0–9.0 reporting scale, based on published TARA score distributions. It is a practice estimate, not an official UAT-UK result.

Feedback you can use on the next draft

AI feedback examines your argument, structure and style. You will get an overall judgement, focused priorities and notes attached to relevant parts of your essay.

The real Writing Task is not given a numerical score by UAT-UK. TaraPrep feedback is a preparation aid, not an official mark or a prediction of how a university will assess your response.
