Honest answers
The questions
students ask first.
The plateaus, the test-day nerves, the hours-per-week. What you want to know before you commit.
Both, plus IELTS General. Each has its own mock bank and feedback rubric. PTE is algorithm-graded, so we practise to that algorithm.
Yes, that's the default now. Paper IELTS is gone by mid-2026. Our mocks run the same on-screen interface: drag-and-drop, no highlighting, typed Writing. Most students move half a band once they stop fighting the screen.
Our rubric is benchmarked against examiner-graded samples, so the overall band usually lands within 0.5. You get a per-criterion read on every attempt, reviewed by our experts.
It's the most common starting point we see. The plateau is usually Task 2 coherence or Speaking fluency under pressure. We pinpoint which one is costing you the half-band, then drill it until your mocks come back at 7+.
Two to three full mocks plus your weak-spot drills, about 5–6 hours. Fewer than three mocks a week and progress stalls.
