Scored on the real criteria

The four things an examiner listens for

Every IELTS Speaking answer is marked against the same four official criteria. Here's what an examiner is listening for on each one, and what IELTS Mentor AI shows you after every answer. The result: you practise only what you need to improve.

What the examiner notices: how naturally you speak without long pauses or false starts, and whether your ideas connect logically from one point to the next.

What the app shows you: exactly where you hesitate, and which connecting words you overuse or skip.

What the app flagged · illustrative

  • Linking Words30%
  • Band Score Trend · latest score5.0

What the examiner notices: how wide and precise your vocabulary is, and whether you can paraphrase instead of repeating the same words.

What the app shows you: the Band 7+ words and phrases missing from your answer.

  • Academic Vocabulary85%
  • Academic Vocabulary Set 2 · memory strength72%

What the examiner notices: the mix of simple and complex sentence structures you attempt, and how often errors get in the way of meaning.

Your score is a range, not a number

A strict examiner marks what's wrong with your answer; a lenient one marks what's right — and the same answer can land on different bands depending on which one you get on test day. IELTS Mentor AI scores every answer both ways and shows you the range between them, then trains you to hit the strict examiner's number, so a friendlier one on the day only ever works in your favour. See how the range is calculated.

Frequently Asked Question

Get answers to common questions about IELTS Mentor AI and how it helps you reach your target band score.

How does the AI score my speaking?

The AI examiner listens to your answer and marks it on the four official IELTS Speaking criteria — Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation — then scores it twice, once as a strict examiner and once as a lenient one, and shows you the band range between them along with the specific mistakes pulling your score down.

How do I get started?

Download the app, set your target band and exam date, and your first mock and personalized plan are ready in minutes.

How is IELTS Mentor AI different from other IELTS apps?

Most apps give everyone the same generic lessons. We analyze YOUR specific speaking errors and build a personalized curriculum targeting YOUR weaknesses. Plus, our fossilized error detection identifies bad habits you didn't even know you had — something no other app offers.

Is this app only for IELTS Speaking?

Speaking is our core, with deep analysis of all 4 IELTS criteria: Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy, and Pronunciation. We've also added IELTS Writing practice (Task 1 and Task 2) with AI band-score feedback, plus a Foundation Track for beginners at Band 3.0-4.0. Listening and Reading modules aren't available yet.

How does the AI know my specific errors?

Our AI analyzes your speech in real-time, identifying patterns across grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. It tracks these across sessions to detect fossilized errors, mistakes you repeat without realizing.

What's the FSRS algorithm?

FSRS, an open-source spaced-repetition algorithm, is a scientifically-proven approach that schedules reviews at the optimal time just before you're about to forget. It's used in advanced learning systems like Anki and has been shown to improve retention by up to 200%.

What are "fossilized errors" and why do they matter?

Fossilized errors are mistakes you repeat 80% of the time without realizing—bad habits burned into your brain. They're the #1 reason students stay stuck at the same band score. Our AI detects these patterns and creates targeted drills to break them.

Can I use this on both iOS and Android?

IELTS Mentor AI is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
