What do students get after completing the Quill Writing Assessment?

Each student who completes the Quill Writing Assessment will receive a personalised Quill certificate and report. The certificate shows the achievement band attained by the student, while the report shows a breakdown of the candidate's results and detailed feedback on the extended writing tasks.

What are the achievement bands of the Quill Writing Assessment?
There are five achievement bands in total:
  • High Distinction
  • Distinction
  • Merit
  • Pass
  • Participation

Students who have completed the corresponding level of Writing i-Learner and/or Love to Write are encouraged to aim for Merit or higher in the Quill Writing Assessment.
