“I usually use the Criterion to ensure my students practice their essay writing skills. I find the current range of essay topics very good but would be happy if ETS introduced more. What I like most is that feedback is sent to the student and me, making it easier to help a student improve their written English. This is excellent practice material.”

“In our school we use the Criterion to supplement our lessons; students also enjoy writing the essays as they can do it in their own time, anywhere they please…as long as they meet the deadline of course. It is interesting to see how different students interpret our lessons.”
