See inside before you sign in

Most IELTS platforms mark your test and tell you the score. The useful part is what comes after that — which kinds of question keep costing you marks, and what to do about it this week. Here is what that looks like, and one exercise you can try right now without an account.

Try the real thing, now

Note and table completion costs students more marks than any other question type, and the reason is usually spelling rather than hearing. This is the actual exercise from inside the platform, with the actual marking. No account, nothing to install.

It tells you what is costing you marks

Every mistake is sorted by IELTS question type and ranked by how many marks it has taken from you — across every test you have sat, not just the last one.

Example

Form, note or table completion

Spelling is marked here. Practise writing numbers, dates and names while you listen.

11marks lost

True / False / Not Given

NOT GIVEN means the text simply does not say it. Most marks here are lost by using your own knowledge instead of the passage.

And what to do about it this week

Built from what you have actually got wrong, not from a questionnaire at sign-up. A task is ticked off when the evidence exists — sit the test and it marks itself done.

Example
  1. ✓
    Sit another Listening testListening is your lowest skill at 5.5. It is where a half band is cheapest to find.
  2. Work through your True / False / Not Given mistakesThis type has cost you 6 marks — more than any other.
  3. Write one Task 2 and check itWriting is not marked automatically anywhere on this site, so it is the easiest thing to avoid.

Your band, against time

One line per skill against real dates, with your goal band across it. Not eight bars in a row that cannot tell you whether it is your Reading or your Listening that moved.

Example
5.56.06.57.07.5goal 7.5
  • Listeningup 1.5 of a band
  • Readingup 1.5 of a band

What else is in there

  • Forty-four practice tests in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, in the exam format.
  • Strict mode and practice mode. Strict plays the audio once, like the exam. Practice lets you pause, rewind and highlight — and keeps those attempts out of your band estimate.
  • A full mock exam: all four skills in one sitting, ending in a single band. Practising one skill at a time never tells you whether you can read after forty minutes of listening.
  • An AI writing tutor for Task 1 and Task 2 that teaches the thinking, and a writing check that marks a finished essay against the four criteria.
  • Speaking practice with recording and feedback, and a vocabulary lab.
  • Your work stays yours. Essays, drafts and recordings never leave your browser. Your teacher cannot read them.
