How BandVisa works
From signup to your first band score in about 15 minutes — here's the whole journey.
1 · Create your free account
Sign up with your name, email and a password — that’s it. No card, no trial timer. Tell us your target test, band and destination so we can point you at the right tasks and show your gap on the dashboard.
2 · Choose a writing task
Pick from original IELTS tasks (Academic Task 1 charts, General Training letters, Task 2 essays) or PTE tasks (Summarize Written Text, Write Essay). Every prompt is original and written to match the real exam’s style, timing and word limits.
3 · Write under real exam conditions
The editor gives you exactly what the exam gives you: a countdown timer, a live word count that warns you below the minimum, and nothing else. Your work autosaves every few seconds — a dropped connection never loses your writing.
4 · Submit and get graded in under a minute
Our AI examiner scores your writing against the official criteria — Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource and Grammar for IELTS; content, form, grammar, vocabulary and spelling for PTE. The same script always gets the same score, so your progress is real, not noise.
5 · Learn from every mistake
Your feedback quotes your exact sentences, names each problem, and shows the corrected version. You also get a model answer written for the exact prompt you attempted — so you can see what your target band looks like in practice.
6 · Track your band to the target
Your dashboard shows your best score against your target, your history over time, and which criterion is holding you back — so every practice session has a purpose.
A few honest limits
- Scores are careful estimates for practice — your official band comes from the real test.
- There's a fair-use daily limit on AI gradings so the service can stay free for everyone.
- Speaking, Reading and Listening practice are on the roadmap — Writing is where we make the biggest difference first.
