Does it work for both Task 1 and Task 2?

How accurate is the band score estimate?

The AI provides estimates based on official IELTS scoring criteria. While not a replacement for official scoring, it gives you a reliable indication of your current level and specific areas to improve.

What languages can I receive feedback in?

Feedback is available in 18 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, and more. Your essay should still be written in English.
