Bandhu doesn't just mark your answers — it shows which question types cost you marks, what to fix, and what it's worth in bands. Reading is auto-marked instantly; Writing and Speaking get AI-estimated bands with criterion-level feedback.

Start where it matters most. Each skill mirrors the real computer-delivered format.
Audio-based practice with single-play timing, matching the real test. In the works.
The score is the start, not the end. Every result is inspectable and honest about its limits.
Every answer is marked with a reason — exact match, accepted spelling/format variant, or over the word limit — alongside the accepted answer and a short explanation. No black-box scores.
Your analytics break accuracy down by question type (True/False/Not Given, multiple choice, completion) so you can see exactly where marks leak — not just a bare total.
Objective scores follow the official IELTS band scale. Short practices are scaled to the 40-question basis, and every band is shown as an indicative estimate — never presented as an official result.
Split-pane reading, an on-screen countdown, and review flags mirror the current computer-delivered format, so practice trains the right habits.

Reading is auto-marked against the official band scale using a normalization pipeline that accepts spelling and format variants. Because a short practice has fewer than 40 questions, the score is scaled to the standard 40-question basis and shown as an indicative band.
Yes, as AI estimates. Writing Task 2 responses are scored across the four IELTS criteria, with a model answer to compare against. Speaking answers are transcribed in your browser (Chrome) and scored on fluency, vocabulary, and grammar — pronunciation isn't scored yet. Every band is an automated estimate, never an official IELTS result.
No. Start a test straight away — your attempts are saved to your browser session so your dashboard and analytics build up as you practise.
