Overall assessment

The response addresses both questions by identifying plausible causes of dropout and pairing them with relevant remedies. Its strongest aspect is the clear organisation of each cause alongside a solution. Development remains general, however: the financial and motivational mechanisms need explanation, and the Tennessee credential target does not clearly illustrate the preceding claim about mentorship and school retention.

TR

Task Response

Both questions are addressed through relevant causes and matching solutions. The financial and motivational mechanisms remain briefly explained, and the Tennessee credential target is not clearly connected to the paragraph’s claim about mentorship and school retention.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

The essay progresses logically through clearly sequenced points with appropriate cohesive devices, although some linkers are used mechanically and paragraphing is formulaic.

7.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is sufficiently flexible for the topic, with terms like vocational, mentorship, and post-secondary credentials, though occasional repetition of phrases such as school and situation reduces precision.

7.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A range of structures, including relative clauses, coordinated clauses and an introductory By phrase, is used with generally strong accuracy. The sentences communicate the causes and proposed solutions clearly.

7.0

What to work on next

Develop each solution with more detailed explanation of how it would work and its expected effect, rather than presenting it briefly after the cause.
