How AI scoring works and teacher feedback

For speaking, your recording is converted to text (speech-to-text), and pronunciation is analysed sound by sound. Then your answer is scored against the official criteria of the exam, for example the four IELTS band descriptors or the PTE traits.

How accurate is it?

AI scores follow the same public criteria examiners use and are a strong guide to your level. They are not official results. A certified examiner may score slightly differently, especially near a band boundary. Use them to track progress and find weaknesses, not as a guarantee.

To get the most accurate speaking scores:

• use a headset microphone in a quiet room
• speak at a natural pace and volume
• make sure your recording isn't cut off. Check it plays back fully.

Teacher feedback

If you study through an institution, your teacher can review your answers and add comments. When they do:

• a Teacher Feedback tab appears on the report, next to Score & Analysis
• you may get a notification

Teacher feedback is available on IELTS and PTE reports.

A report didn't finish

If a report says the analysis failed:

1. Reload the page. Many reports finish in the background.
2. Use the re-analyse option on the report if there is one.
3. If it still fails, practise the question again. Contact support if it keeps happening.
