Why students use Band9Prep
Scored against official IELTS criteria, not a mystery algorithm
Every Writing and Speaking submission gets four separate scores — one for each official IELTS marking criterion. If your Task Achievement is 6 but your Lexical Resource is 7.5, you will know. Most tools just give you a number.
No tokens, no credits, no test limits on the Unlimited plan
Take as many tests as you want. Do not worry about credits running out before the end of the month. Study when you want, as much as you want.
