IELTS Practice FAQ
What is English Grader?
English Grader is an online IELTS practice site for Writing Task 1, Writing Task 2, Speaking Parts 1–3 and vocabulary. You get AI examiner-style feedback, corrections and practice band estimates, plus IELTS guides and strategies.
Read the IELTS Guide →Is the band score official?
No. Band scores are practice estimates based on the public IELTS band descriptors. Only an official IELTS test gives you a real result. Use estimates to track progress across several attempts.
How does the AI feedback work?
Write or record your answer and the AI examiner-style checker marks it against the official IELTS band descriptors, showing what you did well, exact corrections and specific tips for the next band.
Try IELTS Writing feedback →Do I need an account to start practising?
No. You can try each feature once a day without an account. Creating a free account lets you save your answers, track progress and unlock more daily practice.
See the plans →Can I get explanations in my native language?
Yes. Choose your native language to see translated explanations and tap highlighted words for their meaning, alongside the English text.
Study IELTS vocabulary →Is it free?
You can try each AI feature once a day without an account, and Free accounts get 2 uses per feature each day. Basic ($14.99/month) gives 10 uses per feature each day and Premium ($29.99/month) is unlimited. Both paid plans include a 3-day free trial.
Compare plans →Can I cancel or get a refund?
You can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the billing period. Refunds can be requested within 7 days of a charge.
Read the refund policy →Can teachers use it with a class?
Yes. Teachers can create classes, add students, grade submissions in bulk with AI assistance, add their own bands and notes, and view each student's answers, error bank and progress.
Open teacher tools →How do I find my current IELTS level?
Take the free 15-minute diagnostic: one short essay and two speaking answers give an estimated band and your top 3 priorities. It is an estimate, not an official score.
Take the diagnostic →Can I take a full Speaking mock test?
Yes. The Speaking mock test takes you through Part 1, a Part 2 cue card with preparation time and Part 3 in one sitting, then transcribes and scores all your answers together.
Take a Speaking mock test →Can I practise the computer-delivered Writing test?
Yes. The computer-style Writing test shows the question beside your answer box with one 60-minute timer for both tasks and a live word count, like the real computer-delivered exam.
Try the computer-style test →Do you support General Training letters?
Yes. Writing Task 1 includes a General Training letter section with formal, semi-formal and informal questions, plus letter-specific feedback and Band 6.0 and 7.0 model answers.
