託福獨立寫作旨在考察考生是否有效迴應題目，闡明文章主題，文章邏輯是否條理清楚及能否充分展開論證;內容是否連貫一致以及考生遣詞造句的能力。
託福綜合寫作的考察在於總結歸納和改寫兩個方面，總結歸納的能力是說考察方希望考生能夠在規定的時間內掌握一定長度和一定難度的閱讀和聽力材料中所涉及到的重點資訊和論證結構;改寫能力則要求考生將兩部分材料中的重點資訊和論證方式用新的語言和結構系統的進行展示和歸納。

託福綜合寫作評分標準(Integrated Wring Rubrics)
1.託福綜合寫作得5分情況
A response at this level successfully selects the important information from the lecture and coherently and accurately presents this information in relation to the relevant information presented in the reading. The response is well organized, and occasional language errors that are present do not result in inaccurate or imprecise presentation of content or connections.
2.託福綜合寫作得4分情況
A response at this level is generally good in selecting the important information from the lecture and in coherently and accurately presenting this information in relation to the relevant information in the reading, but it may have minor omission, inaccuracy, vagueness, or imprecision of some content from the lecture or in connection to points made in the reading. A response is also scored at this level if it has more frequent or noticeable minor language errors, as long as such usage and grammatical structures do not result in anything more than an occasional lapse of clarity or in the connection of ideas.
3.託福綜合寫作得3分情況
A response at this level contains some important information from the lecture and conveys some relevant connection to the reading, but it is marked by one or more of the following:
●Although the overall response is definitely oriented to the task, it conveys only vague, global, unclear, or somewhat imprecise connection of the points made in the lecture to points made in the reading.
●The response may omit one major key point made in the lecture.
●Some key points made in the lecture or the reading, or connections between the two, may be incom-plete, inaccurate, or imprecise.
●Errors of usage and/or grammar may be more frequent or may result in noticeably vague expressions or obscured meanings in conveying ideas and connections.
4.託福綜合寫作得2分情況
A response at this level contains some relevant information from the lecture, but is marked by sig-nificant language difficulties or by significant omission or inaccuracy of important ideas from the lecture or in the connections between the lecture and the reading; a response at this level is marked by one or more of the following:
●The response significantly misrepresents or completely omits the overall connection between the lec-ture and the reading.
●The response significantly omits or significantly misrepresents important points made in the lecture.
●The response contains language errors or expressions that largely obscure connections or meaning at key junctures or that would likely obscure understanding of key ideas for a reader not already familiar with the reading and the lecture.
5.託福綜合寫作得1分情況
A response at this level is marked by one or more of the following:
●The response provides little or no meaningful or relevant coherent content from the lecture.
●The language level of the response is so low that it is difficult to derive meaning.
6.託福綜合寫作得0分情況
A response at this level merely copies sentences from the reading, rejects the topic or is otherwise notconnected to the topic, is written in a foreign language, consists of keystroke characters, or is blank.

標準解讀：
要點1: addresses the topic
在託福寫作中，考生所表達的觀點要和題目要求相關、一致。另外，考生所提供的例證也要切題，只有這樣的例子才有說服力。
要點2: well organized & well developed
託福滿分作文的行文組織要系統，有邏輯性。 考生在提出論點之後，必須尋找相關的例證來支援和充實自己的.論點。 需要強調的是，在托福考試會考生雖然可以發散地進行說理和尋找例證，但若是將自己所舉的例證進行一定加工,按照由主到次、讓步轉折等順序進行排列，則能更好顯示出各個例證之間的邏輯關係，讓舉例或是說理論證的過程更有層次性。這樣的文章才稱得上well-organized and well-developed.
要點3: explanations,exemplifications and details
在託福寫作中，考生提出觀點之後必須要發散式地進行舉例或是說理論證。具體包括解釋原因，舉例說明以及提供其它的細節資訊。
要點4: unity,progression, and coherence
託福滿分作文通篇要做到：
1. 論點集中(unity)--所有的論據都指向論點;
2. 邏輯通暢(progression and coherence)--不同段落之間要連線緊密、銜接過渡自然並層層推進。
想要做到以上幾點，考生需要合理地謀篇佈局、進行最優化的段落分配並恰當地使用邏輯連線詞。
要點5: variety
用詞用句的多樣性和變化效能有效地體現語言的豐富性以及使用技巧。
要點6: appropriate word choice and idiomaticity
託福寫作要求考生根據語境選擇“恰當的用詞”。在託福寫作中，考生不需要譁眾取寵的用“大詞、難詞”來顯示詞彙量。 真正的高手是用簡單但精確的詞語來闡述深刻的道理。
要點7: minor errors
託福作文允許有錯誤存在。most一詞表明一篇滿分文章需要避免絕大部分的語法、用詞錯誤。 同時這也表明個別的語法錯誤、用詞不當以及諸如拼寫，標點符號和大小寫等錯誤不影響一篇文章得滿分。 對於託福寫作來說，更重要的是文章的要點明確、邏輯通暢，語言的整體高水平。
