Calibrated to the public band descriptors

Know your IELTS band before the real thing.

Sit a full computer-based test — Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking — and get an estimated band with the reasoning behind it: which descriptor you matched, what stopped you reaching the next band, and what to practise first.

Why not band 8

Ideas are developed and well organised, but article and preposition slips recur in complex sentences — band 8 needs errors to be rare.

The four modules

Every module, run the way the real test runs.

Audio plays once. Sections unlock in order. The timer does not stop. Start with any module — the first one is free.

How it works

Three steps, about an hour.

1

Take a free test

Pick a module and sit it in exam conditions. No account, no card, no email. Your work is saved as you go, so a dropped connection does not cost you the attempt.

2

Get your estimated band

Reading and Listening are marked the moment you submit. Writing and Speaking take a minute or two while the examiner reads your work twice and matches it to the descriptors.

3

Understand how to improve

Every band comes with the evidence behind it, the reason you did not reach the next one, and the one thing worth practising next.

Where the score comes from

An estimate you can argue with.

Bands here are AI estimates calibrated against the public IELTS band descriptors. They are not official IELTS scores and no simulator can issue one. What we can do is show our working.

Every band is quoted

Each criterion names the descriptor it matched and quotes the sentences from your own answer that earned it.

The near-miss is explained

“Why not band 8” is a standard part of the report, not a premium extra.

Objective modules are deterministic

Reading and Listening are marked against an answer key with accepted alternatives — no model judgement involved.

What you get

A report that tells you what to do on Monday.

A band with its working shown

Every criterion names the descriptor it matched and quotes the lines from your answer that earned it.

Criterion-level feedback

Four sub-scores for Writing and Speaking, each with a likely range and a note when you sit between two bands.

Your essay, annotated

Grammar and lexis findings marked in place. Tap any mark for the category, the fix and why it matters.

Speaking measured, not guessed

Speech rate, pause placement, fillers and your longest fluent run — the things that decide fluency and coherence.

Progress against your target

One trend line per module, your target band marked, and days remaining until your exam date.

The weakness worth fixing first

Question types and criteria ranked by the marks they cost you, each linking straight into practice for it.

Questions

Before you start

Is this an official IELTS score?

No, and nothing outside a test centre can be. Your band here is an estimate produced by matching your work against the publicly published band descriptors, with the matched descriptor and the evidence shown so you can judge it yourself.

Do I need an account to try it?

Not for your first test. You can sit a full module and see your overall band as a guest. Creating a free account afterwards keeps that attempt, unlocks the criterion breakdown and starts your progress history.

How close is the estimate to the real thing?

Reading and Listening are marked against an answer key, so they behave exactly like the real test. Writing and Speaking are judgement calls: we show a likely range alongside the single band, and a confidence note when your answer sits between two descriptors.

What happens to my essays and recordings?

They are stored against your attempt so you can reread them and so the examiner can quote them back to you. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time from Settings, permanently.

Can I take more than one test?

Yes. A free account includes further practice across all four modules; graded Writing and Speaking attempts are capped per day. Beyond that there is a paid plan, and you will always be told which wall you have hit before you start a test, not after.
