What worked

Willingness to produce extended answers with personal stories and specific examples, especially when discussing programming and favourite meals.

Good use of natural technical and descriptive language, such as "figuring out how things work", "daily routine" and "predict statistics".

Effective self-correction in places, quickly fixing word slips like changing "staff it" to "stuff it".

What to work on

Hesitation and long pauses, including a silent pause of over 18 seconds in the very first question, which interrupts the natural flow of speech.

Subject-verb agreement errors, especially missing the third-person -s on singular nouns such as "body need" and "technology develops".

Monotone intonation (86% flagged flat) — vary pitch to make answers sound expressive, not read aloud.

Words to practise

malachea/mæˈleɪtʃiə/4
making/ˈmeɪkɪŋ/14

An accent is not an error: these scores compare you with one standard model, and the band is set by how clearly you are understood.

Language areas to review

  • GRAMMARThird-person -s agreement

    “she work” → “she works”, “technology develop” → “technology develops”

  • FLUENCYFiller reduction — um / er

    5.8 fillers per 100 words. Pause silently before an answer instead of filling with um.

  • VOCABULARYMore precise food & lifestyle words

    “fat food” → “fatty food”, “public food” → “popular food”.

  • PRONUNCIATIONIntonation — vary pitch on key words

    86% of speech flagged as flat. Stress topic words to carry the meaning.

Focus · Fluency — pause control

Answer 3 Part 1 questions with no um or er: take a silent 1–2 second pause instead. Record yourself and count the fillers.

Illustrative sample only. Report is based on Part 1 only and is indicative — it is not a full IELTS Speaking band. Feedback is generated by AI, not by an IELTS examiner. Acoustic scores (0–100) compare your recording with a standard pronunciation model and are not IELTS band descriptors. Band estimates are not official IELTS scores or a guarantee of results.

Understand the marking, account access and refund terms before you choose.

Read the full refund terms ↗
When do my allowances reset?

They are counted over a rolling window of the last 7 days (weekly) or 30 days (monthly), rather than resetting on your billing date.

Is this marked by an IELTS examiner?

This plan uses AI to mark your practice. For an IELTS examiner to read your Writing, choose a Task 1 assessment, Task 2 assessment or the Writing mock bundle separately.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Cancel any time; the period already paid is not refunded. Your results remain in your account after the plan ends.

Can I use more than one device?

Use it on up to 2 devices — your computer and phone.

Which email should I pay with?

Pay with the same email you sign in with. Your purchase is added to that Band 9 account. Checkout fills in and locks that email for you; sign out first if you need to use a different account.

Can I try the site before paying?

Yes. Listening and Reading practice is free in every book. Your free account also includes 2 diagnostic tests, 1 AI Writing mark and 1 AI Speaking mark. Start with the free diagnostic if you are unsure what to work on.
