The sitting, the marking, the verdict.

Examiner-grade marking

Every sentence, accounted for.

Essays are marked against Task Achievement, Coherence, Lexical Resource and Grammar — with inline annotations on the exact phrases that cost you the half-band.

In conclusion, while both arguments have merit, a flexible hybrid model offers the most productive arrangement.

One report, every sitting.

How it works

Three steps. No noise.

  1. Set the target.

    Name the band you need and where you are headed — study, work, or residency. The plan is tuned to the gap between you and that band.

  2. Practise against the criteria.

    Short daily sessions across the four modules, chosen for the criteria currently pulling your band down.

  3. Sit a mock. Read the verdict.

    A full sitting under exam conditions, reviewed in minutes — the criteria, the annotations, and the next move.

Hit my band 7 in seven weeks. The writing feedback alone is what got me there.

I knew what was capping my band the moment I saw the annotations. No tutor had pointed that out.
Priya M. · Hyderabad
University of Sydney
I'd sat IELTS twice before BandUp. Got my 7.5 the first time after using it.
