Practice tests in an interface built to match the real computer-delivered exam — then a band score against the four official assessment criteria, with the evidence behind every judgement.
Take the full test Or just one module How the marking worksSit all four modules in exam order with a break before Speaking, and get an overall band — or take a single module on its own whenever you want to drill one skill.
Task 1 and Task 2, 60 minutes. Marked on Task Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range & Accuracy.
Start test →Timed passages, auto-marked instantly — then see exactly where in the passage every answer you missed was hiding.
Start test →4 recordings, 40 questions, 30 minutes. Audio plays once, as in the real test — then replay the exact moment each answer was spoken.
Start test →All three parts with a real examiner, 11–14 minutes, recorded in your browser — then a band on all four speaking criteria.
Start test →Writing and Speaking came first because they are the two modules you cannot mark yourself — and the two where students otherwise have to rely on a teacher of unknown quality. All four are now available, with 10 full papers each for Reading and Listening.
No email, no password. You get a short ID that stores your results so you can track progress across every module. Save it — it cannot be recovered.
Most automated IELTS checkers ask an AI “what band is this essay?” and report whatever comes back. That produces confident, inconsistent guesses. This works differently:
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Measure | Your response is analysed for length, paragraphing, sentence variety, cohesive-device use and overuse, lexical diversity and repetition. No AI — just counting, so it is identical every time. |
| 2. Score each criterion separately | Four independent judgements against the official band descriptors. A weak vocabulary score cannot drag down your grammar score. |
| 3. Compare to marked scripts | Every judgement is made against real scripts carrying official examiner bands, so it is a comparison rather than a guess. |
| 4. Quote the evidence | The marker must quote your own words before it may award a band. |
| 5. Score three times | Each criterion is marked three times and the middle score taken, so resubmitting the same response gives the same band. |
Treat any band as accurate to about ±0.5. That is roughly the level of agreement between two human examiners marking the same script — IELTS reports an inter-rater reliability of 0.92 for Writing, and even machine-marked Listening carries a standard error of about 0.43 bands. No marker, human or automated, produces a single exact truth.
This is practice, not a prediction. Use it to find weaknesses and track improvement, not to decide whether to book your test.
