What the app does for Reading and Listening, in the app's own terms
Each feature is named as the app names it. Nothing here is a promise about your result.
Reading Tests
Full Academic papers: three passages, 40 questions, 60 minutes, with exam timing or untimed. Marked the moment you finish, with a band, a breakdown by passage and by question type, and the sentence behind every answer highlighted in the passage.
Listening Tests
Full four-part tests with 40 questions. Exam mode plays each recording once, as the real test does; Practice mode lets you pause and replay. Marked when you finish, with a band, a breakdown by part and by question type, Hear it again for every question, and the transcript with the deciding line highlighted.
A band from the raw score
Reading and Listening are marked out of 40 and reported as a band, the way a full paper is scored, not an estimate from a sample of questions.
Breakdown by question type
Every paper reports where the marks went: by passage or by part, and by question type, so the type that loses you marks is named rather than guessed at. The Skill to Fix First puts the error that appears in 80% or more of your responses at the top.
Skill Map
Every test feeds one map of your English, shared with the Speaking and Writing tests in the same app, each item as a percentage, so what to fix next is one list across the four skills.
Review Due and Quick Wins
Review Due brings back what you fixed, right before you would forget it, scheduled by the FSRS algorithm; Quick Wins pick the next short session from what the map shows.
Four things to know before you pay
- The tests were written for the app in the format IELTS.org publishes. They are not past papers and not official IELTS material.
- The Reading papers are Academic only. If you sit General Training, the Reading paper is not here; Listening is the same in both versions.
- The interface and the tests are in English, because the test is.
- It does not book your test, and it is not affiliated with IELTS, IDP, the British Council or Cambridge.

Next to other products that offer IELTS Reading or Listening practice
Three products describe Reading or Listening practice on their own sites: Speechful, Engnovate and the British Council's IELTS Ready. Here is what each says about itself on its own site, read on 18 September 2026, next to what this app does. Where a site does not describe a feature, the cell says so; that does not mean the feature is absent.
| IELTS Mentor AI | Speechful | Engnovate | IELTS Ready (British Council) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | iOS and Android | Browser only; no store listing found | Browser only; no mobile app found | Browser only; a web platform, not a mobile app |
| Full Academic Reading papers | Yes: three passages, 40 questions, 60 minutes | A timed Reading practice test with an estimated band | Reading tests and a Reading band calculator listed | A full mock test gives a Reading score |
| Full four-part Listening tests | Yes: four parts, 40 questions, heard once in Exam mode | No Listening module found | Listening tests and a Listening band calculator listed | A full mock test gives a Listening score |

Try the browser tests on this site first
They run without the app and without a sign-in: a Reading practice test with three Academic passages and 40 questions, marked the moment you submit with the deciding sentence shown and, for the full paper, an indicative band; a Listening practice test with four parts and 40 questions read by your browser's own voices, marked the moment you submit and, for the full test, with an indicative band; and the band score calculator for a raw score out of 40. A single Listening part or Reading passage gives no band, because IELTS.org's conversion is for a full 40-question paper: the full papers are in the app.
Is IELTS Mentor AI for you?
You came here with a band to reach. Here is who the app is for, who it is not for, what happens if it does not work for you, and what it does not promise.
It is for you if
- You are preparing for Academic IELTS and practise on your own.
- You want your Speaking and Writing assessed against the four official criteria, with a band range rather than a single guess.
- You want full Reading and Listening papers under exam timing, with the evidence behind every answer.
- You can use an app whose interface is in English; this site explains it in eighteen languages.
It is not for you if
- You need the General Training Reading paper. It is not in the app.
- You want an official score. The app reports a range, and it is not affiliated with IELTS, IDP, the British Council or Cambridge.
- You want to practise without a phone. The app runs on iOS and Android; the tools on this site are the browser part.
If it does not work for you
IELTS Mentor AI is a paid app. The plans, the packs and what each one buys are on this site, and the App Store or Google Play show the terms before you confirm; how billing and refunds work is written down in plain words, and support answers by email.
What it does not promise
A range, not a result. Speaking and Writing come back as a band range from strict to lenient, with the sentences that moved it, because no software can promise the band an examiner will give; only the test does. Whether AI scorers work sets out the evidence.
Sit a full paper and see every answer explained
IELTS Mentor AI is a paid iOS and Android app for Academic IELTS practice in all four skills: an AI examiner marks Speaking and Writing on the four official criteria and reports a band range, full Reading and Listening tests are marked the moment you finish, and one Skill Map shows what to fix next.

Questions people ask before downloading
Short answers, with the page to read for more.
Are the Reading and Listening bands official?
No. The tests are the app's own, written in the format IELTS.org publishes, and the band is reported from your raw score out of 40. An official score comes only from an IELTS test. How the IELTS Reading score is calculated and how the Listening score is calculated.
Is the Listening recording played once, like the real test?
In Exam mode, yes: each recording plays once and cannot be paused, as IELTS.org describes the test. Practice mode lets you pause and replay, and every question has Hear it again afterwards.
Does it cover General Training Reading?
No. The Reading papers are Academic. Listening is the same test in both versions, as IELTS.org's test format pages describe it, so the Listening tests apply to both.
Is the app in my language?
The interface and the tests are in English, because the test is in English. This website explains the app in eighteen languages.
What does it cost?
It is a paid app. What it costs is on one page, in full and with the date it was last checked; nothing is unlocked before you pay. The pricing page; how billing and refunds work.
How do I move from Band 6 to 7 in Reading or Listening?
By finding the question types that lose the marks and drilling those, under the real timing. The app's breakdown by question type shows where the marks go; the guides below show what the step looks like in each skill. Reading band 6 to 7 and Listening band 6 to 7.
