IELTS Studio supports the core practice loop for both Academic and General Training. Some screens and examples currently lean Academic because that is the largest audience, but the product is built around the same IELTS skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking, vocabulary, and feedback. Both report the same 1-9 band scale, though General Training Reading needs more correct answers for the same band — the band score calculator has both conversion tables.

You can take full mocks, practise Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking on their own, drill specific question types, review feedback, track progress, and build vocabulary with spaced repetition. The goal is to give you a complete practice loop, not just another question bank.

Use official-style tests for mocks and serious exam practice. Use Explore for everyday practice from real English sources: articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other material you want to turn into IELTS-style quizzes, writing prompts, speaking practice, and vocabulary.

Writing and Speaking feedback is organised around IELTS-style criteria, so you can see the score, the weak area, and what to fix — the same structure the IELTS writing checker uses. Reading and Listening review explains wrong answers, evidence, traps, and the question types that need more practice.

Yes. You can save useful words into vocabulary banks, practise them with spaced repetition, and write your own sentences so you learn to use words in Writing and Speaking instead of only recognising them.

Yes. The dashboard is designed to show your recent activity, strengths, weaknesses, weak question types, vocabulary due for review, and a suggested weekly study plan based on your target band.

You can start free with no card. Paid plans add higher usage limits and advanced feedback — see pricing for the current breakdown — but the first step is still frictionless.

Books and videos can be useful, but they usually leave you to decide what to do next. IELTS Studio combines practice, feedback, progress tracking, drills, Explore, and vocabulary review so every session leads to the next useful action.

No. Your essays, answers, and imported materials are used to provide your practice experience and feedback. They are not used to train AI models.

Any modern browser. Test-taking views work best on desktop or laptop because that matches computer-delivered IELTS. Vocabulary, dashboard, review, and lighter study flows are more comfortable on mobile.

It depends on your current level, study time, and how consistently you act on feedback. If you are not sure what each band level actually means, start there. IELTS Studio cannot promise a score increase, but it can make your practice more focused by showing what is weak and what to practise next — we wrote an honest breakdown of what a 1.5-band improvement takes.
