Task Response
Does your essay actually answer the question? See where your position drifts, where ideas stay undeveloped, and what an examiner would flag.
IELTS writing checker
Check your IELTS essay. See the band behind it.
Paste or write an essay and get a band estimate scored against the four official IELTS writing criteria — with sentence-level feedback that tells you exactly what to fix.
Scored the way examiners score.
A single number does not tell you what to study. IELTS Studio scores each of the four official criteria separately, so you know which one is holding your band down.
Coherence & Cohesion
Paragraph logic, linking, and progression. Find the exact places where your argument breaks or your linking words work against you.
Lexical Resource
Vocabulary range and precision. Spot repeated words, misused collocations, and where a stronger choice lifts the band.
Grammatical Range & Accuracy
Sentence variety and error density. Get your recurring error types, not just a list of typos.

Common questions
Is the band score from an AI checker accurate?
It is an estimate, not an official score. IELTS Studio scores essays against the four official writing criteria, which makes the estimate useful for finding your weak criterion and tracking improvement — but only an authorised IELTS examiner can give you a real band.
Does it check both Task 1 and Task 2?
Yes. Academic Task 1 (charts, maps, process diagrams), General Training Task 1 letters, and Task 2 essays are all supported, each scored against the criteria that apply to that task.
Is the IELTS writing checker free?
You can start free with no card. Write an essay, get feedback, and see how the scoring works before deciding whether to upgrade.
Will my essays be used to train AI?
No. Your essays are used to generate your feedback and are not sold or used to train foundation models.
Your target band is closer than you think.
