The question

If the test were tomorrow, what would you get?

You have a test date. You have a band you need for your university, your visa or your job. What you do not have is a clear answer to one question: if the test were tomorrow, what would you get?

Practice answers that get “perfect” every time. Practice questions that do not look like the test. Two people giving the same essay two different bands. Then you pay the test fee and find out on results day. Check your local test fee, then compare it with the price below.

What is inside

A 7-day assessment programme

You take 2 Writing mocks (Task 1 + Task 2, 60 minutes) and 2 Speaking mocks (3 parts) on the clock, in the test format. Each answer gets a band on each of the 4 marking criteria, with the sentence that pulls it down. At the end you get a gap report: where you are, where you need to be, what to practise first.

Benchmark

Four timed mocks in the test format. The B of our B.A.N.D. method.

Analyse

A band on each criterion, the sentence that pulls it down, and your gap report. The A of B.A.N.D.

Bonus: countdown plan and phrase bank

A test-date countdown plan, the band descriptors in plain English (PDF) and a phrase bank for Speaking Parts 2 and 3.

Bonus: ask the tutor, in writing

Send your questions by email. Answers within 2 working days, written with AI, using guidance from our course author.

When you complete the programme you receive a certificate of completion from BandCheckup, an independent course. It is not an official IELTS result.

What you get

Why candidates want it

How the Pack differs from the real exam

  • Our mocks follow the test format and timing, but they are not the official test.
  • Your Speaking is with an AI examiner, not a person.
  • Your feedback is practice feedback written by AI, not an official score.

Test rules we rely on (4 criteria with equal weight, Task 2 weighted more, timings) come from ielts.org: IELTS scoring in detail.
