Perfect agreement isn’t the bar, since even two examiners don’t hit it. The real test is whether our AI agrees with examiners about as closely as they agree with each other. Here’s how we measure that — and where the model agrees and disagrees. Methodology reviewed by [Examiner Name].
Evaluated on a dataset of 1,000 real exam-taker band scores — about as often as two certified examiners agree with each other.
Full per-criterion results and method live on the accuracy page.
Learners who practiced with examiner-grade feedback before test day.
“The grammar fixes showed me the exact sentences dragging my band down. I answered three Part 3 prompts every evening, and on test day my real result matched the AI’s prediction to the half-band.”
“I trusted the band because my very first AI score was exactly what I got in my real test. Rewriting my answers from the band-9 versions taught me more in three weeks than months of classes.”
“Pronunciation was my ceiling. The sound-by-sound report found the exact phonemes I kept missing — I drilled two or three a day between classes and jumped a band and a half.”
Four dimensions on a 9-band scale, calibrated to the IELTS speaking rubric. The number means something the second you see it.
141 sounds analyzed per attempt, each rated 0 to 9. Substitutions, deletions, and insertions, classified like a speech therapist would.
Top sounds ranked by how much they're hurting your overall score. Knock out two or three per session and watch the band move.
Other AI apps hand you a single number. EnglishTests.AI scores every official IELTS Speaking criterion, plus relevance and depth — the report a real examiner would write, in seconds.
The four official IELTS Speaking criteria (Fluency, Lexical Resource, Grammar, Pronunciation) plus Context (relevance and engagement) and Meaningfulness (coherence and depth), each on the 9-band scale and tied to the wording of the official descriptors, so you know exactly why you got the band.
Practice all three parts of the IELTS Speaking test: the Part 1 interview, the Part 2 cue-card long turn, and the Part 3 discussion. Answer real exam questions and recent speaking topics, scored end to end just like test day.
Under the Pronunciation band sits a 141-phoneme breakdown: which sounds you substitute, omit, or insert, and how much each is costing you. The depth a pronunciation coach gives, instantly.
Your band score for each criterion tells you where you stand. The word and sound-level drill-down tells you what to fix. Every result is a baseline, not a verdict.
Pronunciation, Fluency, Lexical Resource and Grammar map to the four official IELTS Speaking criteria. Context and Meaningfulness are added for relevance and depth.
A 60-second walkthrough of a Part 2 cue-card answer, scored end-to-end and mapped to the band descriptors.
