IELTSprep vs. the real exam

Scoring & Feedback

IELTSprep is designed to be as close to the real IELTS Academic exam as possible, but there are important differences.

What is the same

• Question types (TFNG, Matching Headings, MCQ, etc.)
• Band score calculation method
• Time limits per test
• Four-criteria scoring for Writing and Speaking

What is different

• Scoring: Real IELTS is scored by trained human examiners. IELTSprep uses AI.
• Test content: IELTSprep uses practice content, not licensed IELTS material.
• Exam conditions: The real exam is conducted in a test center with strict protocols.
• Official recognition: IELTSprep scores are not accepted anywhere. Only official IELTS scores count.
