About

Maneru IELTS Prep

Read full description

Maneru is IELTS practice that tells you where you actually stand. Most preparation leaves you guessing until results day. Maneru gives you an estimated band score as you go — across all four skills — so you know what to fix while there's still time to fix it. BUILT AROUND YOUR TEST DATE Tell us when you sit the exam and your target band. You get a daily plan sized to the time you actually have: Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking and vocabulary, in one short session a day. ALL FOUR SKILLS, PROPERLY • Reading — passage sets in the real exam's question types: True/False/Not Given, matching headings, diagram and table completion, multiple choice. Marked instantly, with the reason for every answer. • Listening — real recordings, answered and checked the way the test works. • Writing — write a full Task 2 essay and get an estimated band with feedback on each criterion, quoting your own sentences back to you. • Speaking — record Parts 1, 2 and 3, listen back, and get an estimated band with feedback on fluency, vocabulary and grammar. FEEDBACK THAT SAYS SOMETHING USEFUL Writing and Speaking are assessed against the published IELTS band descriptors — the same criteria examiners use. You get a band for each one and specific, plain-English notes on what to change. No vague encouragement. WATCH THE BAND JOURNEY One line from where you started to where you need to be, updated every time you practise. Estimates appear once you've done all four sections — we won't imply a band from half the exam. VOCABULARY THAT STICKS Academic word lists with spaced repetition, so words come back just before you'd forget them. Words you get wrong return sooner. FULL PRACTICE TESTS Sit a timed test when you want the real thing: Listening, Reading and Writing, played and paced like test day. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The daily practice set and vocabulary are free forever — no card, no countdown. A 5-day free trial unlocks graded Writing and Speaking so you can see the feedback before deciding anything. Nothing is charged without you choosing a plan.

Speaking pronunciation is estimated from delivery patterns in your speech, not directly assessed, and the app says so wherever that band appears.
