Quick answers
Our AI uses IELTS public band descriptors to give band-aligned practice feedback. It is useful for preparation, but only an official IELTS test can provide an official score.
Guided practice uses IELTS-style prompts for named Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 formats where those tasks are available. It does not guarantee that one session contains every part or recreates the official test.
Available IELTS-style speaking prompts can be repeated subject to your plan. Tasks vary, so repeated practice is not a guarantee of an end-to-end test simulation.
It can help you prepare for higher-band speaking by focusing on fluency, lexical resource, grammatical range, and pronunciation. Your official result depends on your test-day performance and the official examiner.
While we provide focused practice, you still need to take the official IELTS test. Our practice helps you prepare for your target band skills.
You get guided speaking practice and can review preparation feedback when it is available. The AI can provide specific, actionable suggestions for supported responses.
