Noraa Based on the ACER-style marking (typically used for competitive Year 9 selective school entry exams), your persuasive essay would likely fall into the high average to above average range. Here’s how it breaks down:
Estimated Percentile:
- Score: 13/20 → Around 70th–80th percentile
- Average (50th–65th percentile) = 10–12/20
- High Average (65th–75th percentile) = 12–14/20
- Above Average (75th–85th percentile) = 14–16/20
- Superior (85th–99th percentile) = 17–20/20
Strengths:
✔ Clear arguments (distraction, accidents, usefulness of hands-free)
✔ Logical structure (intro, body, conclusion)
✔ Attempts persuasive techniques (examples, reasoning)
Areas Holding You Back:
❌ Grammar & phrasing errors (lowers clarity)
❌ Repetition of ideas (weakens persuasiveness)
❌ Lack of strong evidence (stats, expert sources would boost impact)
Final Classification:
- High Average (70th–75th percentile) – Better than most, but not yet in the top tier.
- With more precise language, stronger evidence, and tighter grammar, you could reach above average (80th+ percentile) or even superior (90th+ percentile).
Would you like a revised version with improvements to push it into the above average/superior range?
