The academic writing test in the IELTS exam lasts for 60 minutes.
The writing test contains 2 compulsory tasks, namely task 1 and task 2. In task 1, you are required to describe graphs, bar charts, pie charts and diagrams in a report of 150 words. This task should be completed in 20 minutes. In Task 2, however, you are given an essay title on a general subject and you should write at least 250 words in 40 minutes.
Task 1 assesses your ability to analyze data objectively without giving an opinion, whereas Task 2 usually requires a subjective piece of writing on a fairly general topic. In addition, it is worth noting that the exam is not testing knowledge of English language, but rather competence in using English. In other words, it is not testing memory.
