💡 Pearson Scoring Secrets for Write from Dictation
Every correct word carries 1 full mark into both your Listening AND Writing scores. A 12-word sentence is worth 24 combined points!
Pearson does NOT penalize incorrect words in WFD. If you are unsure whether a noun was singular or plural (e.g., student / students), both forms can be typed.
Always capitalize the first letter of the sentence and place a full stop (.) at the end to secure maximum discourse points.
