The same answers will always produce the same score. Explore exactly how the IELTSPrep Scoring Engine evaluates every skill below.
How many correct answers does it take to reach a Band 7?
Band 7.0 achieved.
Converted using the same band scale as the official IELTS exam.
No AI judgement is involved.
Illustrative exampleWhat happens when Task 2 outweighs Task 1?
Task 2 contributes twice as much to your final Writing band.
This is exactly the same weighting used by the IELTSPrep Scoring Engine.
Illustrative exampleHow can four criteria become one band without a formula?
Speaking is evaluated holistically across the entire conversation, just like the real IELTS interview.
The AI Examiner evaluates the conversation using the official IELTS speaking criteria.
Illustrative exampleHow do four skill bands become one number?
Only the skills you've completed count toward this average — and it updates the moment you finish another test.
Now you know how the number is built. But how close is it to the real exam?
What can you do to get a more accurate result?
No — it's an estimate, not an official result. Reading and Listening tend to track closely with the real exam, while Writing and Speaking are evaluated by the Scoring Engine and can vary slightly.
Each skill is scored against real IELTS criteria, then combined using the formula explained above — nothing about it is random.
It means the numbers shown are made up to demonstrate how the calculation works — they're not your actual result.
Because it is. Reading and Listening are checked against a fixed answer key, with no judgement involved — Writing and Speaking require evaluating language quality, which is inherently more subjective, even for human examiners.
Writing and Speaking scores depend on how you perform each time — your wording and content naturally vary a little, the same way a human examiner would notice. Small differences between attempts are normal. Reading and Listening stay identical for the same correct answers, since they're based on a fixed answer key.
