AI band feedback
Practice until it clicks.
Work through 190 exam-style Academic prompts of this type, each with examiner style feedback and AI band feedback.
Is this the same as an opinion essay?
It is similar. You take and defend a clear view, but the focus is specifically on whether a development is positive or negative.
Should I mention the other side?
A brief acknowledgement before reaffirming your view shows balance, as long as your own stance stays clear.
How accurate is the AI band?
Your essay is graded against the four official IELTS Writing criteria with quoted evidence for each point. Treat it as a reliable practice estimate to track progress, not an official IELTS result.
Is Writing practice free?
Your first Writing test is free to attempt and your band is shown. The detailed report with corrections and a model answer is a small fee per report, or unlimited with Pro. Reading and Listening practice are always free.
