How bands work
See exactly how many marks each band needs
Drag the slider to convert a Listening or Reading raw score into an estimated band — using the published IELTS averages.
30 of 40 in Academic Reading is typically around Band 7.0. 3 more correct answers would usually reach Band 7.5.
Academic Reading passages are denser, so fewer marks are needed per band. Conversions follow the published IELTS averages and vary slightly between test versions — treat them as practice estimates, not official results.

A few good questions
Before you begin.
Are these official IELTS questions?
No. Every passage, recording script, question and explanation is original content written for IELTS Studio. We train the published question types, timing and difficulty — we never reproduce copyrighted test material. IELTS Studio is independent and not affiliated with the British Council, IDP IELTS or Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
How does the AI feedback work?
Writing is assessed against Task Achievement (Task 1) or Task Response (Task 2), Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Speaking uses Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation. You get criterion-level estimates, evidence quoted from your own response and prioritised next steps. Every band is labelled as an AI practice estimate, not an official result.
How are Listening and Reading bands calculated?
Each correct answer is one mark out of 40. We convert raw scores with the published IELTS averages — for example around 30 of 40 is Band 7 in Listening and Academic Reading. General Training Reading needs more correct answers for the same band. Partial practice is shown as an indicative estimate, never as an exact full-test band.
How much AI feedback is included?
Premium includes unlimited AI Writing and Speaking feedback — there are no daily limits. Free accounts can use AI feedback on included free tasks without confirming their email. Plans cost US$6.99 every 2 weeks, US$9.99 monthly or US$19.99 quarterly.
Can I practise on my phone?
Yes. Reading switches to a passage/questions view, the editor and recorder are mobile-first and the dashboard is designed for small screens. For a full mock, a desktop or tablet with headphones gives the closest exam experience.
What happens to my data?
Your essays and recordings are private. Only the content required for assessment is sent to our AI providers, we never sell data, and the privacy policy explains exactly what we store and for how long.
Your next band doesn't have to be a guess.
