Green roofs
Green roofs cover buildings with plants. In summer, rooms below these roofs stay cooler than rooms below bare roofs. Researchers are still studying whether green roofs also cool the streets nearby.

What the feedback actually looks like
Most tools hand you a number. The number is the least useful part — this is the rest of it.
Writing Task 2Illustrative example of the feedback format.
Overall6.5
- Coherence & Cohesion6.0
- Paragraphs 2 and 3 both open with "Furthermore". Your linking words mark that a sentence is coming, but not how it relates to the last one — which is what holds a 6 back from a 7.
- Lexical Resource6.5
- "Very important" appears four times. Band 7 needs less common vocabulary used naturally: "critical", "pivotal", "a decisive factor" would each fit here.
- Task Response7.0
- Both parts of the question are addressed and your position is clear throughout. This criterion is not what is holding you back.
- Grammatical Range6.5
- Nine of your fourteen sentences are simple or compound. The ideas are correct; the structures carrying them are not varied enough yet.
Why not just use the free official practice?
Official practice is a useful place to start. AIelts adds a personal study plan and detailed feedback to help you decide what to work on next.
Free practice is free; a second test fee is not.

Your exam goal
How long this actually takes
The honest answer is longer than most sites tell you. The largest published study of intensive IELTS preparation found that 200–240 hours of instruction produced an average gain of about half a band — and that gains slow above band 6.
Elder & O’Loughlin, IELTS Research Reports Vol. 4 (2003)
So we will not promise you a band in six weeks. What we will do is make sure the hours you have go to the things costing you the most band, instead of the things you are already good at.

Start free. Upgrade when you’re ready.
The free plan gives you daily Reading and Listening practice and a first taste of AI grading. Every paid plan includes everything, without the limits: monthly renews until you cancel, and a one-time plan is a single payment that ends by itself.
You already paid hundreds for your IELTS exam. Don’t pay twice because you weren’t prepared.
Sitting the test again costs as much as the first time; a month here is a fraction of that.

Questions people ask before buying
Is this affiliated with the official IELTS test?
No. AIelts is an independent preparation service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the British Council, IDP, or Cambridge. All practice material here is original and AI-generated — it is not past papers.
How accurate is the AI band score?
It is an estimate, graded against the published assessment criteria — not an official result, and not produced by a certified examiner. Treat it as a guide to what to fix, which is what it is good at, rather than a prediction of your exam day.
Do I need to book my test first?
No. You can start months before you book — and that is usually the better time to start, since it gives the plan room to work.
What is free?
A free account includes the Reading and Listening diagnostic and a study plan built from it, 1 Reading and 1 Listening practice session every day, and 1 Writing and 1 Speaking response graded by AI. No card is needed. A paid plan removes the limits and adds full practice tests.
What happens when the free allowance runs out?
Reading and Listening refill every day at 00:00 UTC. Writing and Speaking each include 1 AI-graded response, because every one is a real cost to us; after that, a plan makes both unlimited. Your results and history stay either way.
Can I cancel the monthly plan?
Yes, at any time, from Settings. Cancelling stops future charges and keeps your access until the end of the month you have already paid for. The one-time plans never renew, so there is nothing to cancel.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — a full refund within 14 days of any payment (48 hours on the Fast Track plan), no reason needed, as long as you have used no more than 3 AI evaluations since that payment. On the monthly plan every renewal starts a fresh 14-day window. Email us and we will take care of it.
Is my Writing and Speaking data private?
Your submissions are sent to third-party AI providers to be graded, and the Privacy Notice lists every kind of provider that receives your data. We do not publish your work or use it to train third-party models.
