About Band7

Band7 (band7.app) is an English-first tool for IELTS Writing Task 2 practice. You write on a timed Writing Desk, or you paste an essay you have already written into the checker. Either way you receive a Grade Report: an Estimated Band for the whole essay and a band for each of the four criteria, with the feedback quoted from your own sentences and one change to carry into the next essay.

What Band7 is

The Writing Desk is where you plan and write. Coach tools can help you read the task, brainstorm, and keep an outline beside the essay, and they do not use your Grade Report allowance. Mock mode is a timed sitting with that help switched off, closer to the way the exam feels. When the essay is ready, the Grade Report names the criterion that is holding it back. The point of the report is the next essay, not a number to screenshot.

Practice estimate only. Not an official IELTS score. Read how the Estimated Band works before you treat a figure as more than practice feedback. We check the grader against essays we own, and we do not publish an accuracy figure, so we do not claim one.

Task 2 only

Band7 covers IELTS Writing Task 2 only. It does not teach Academic Task 1 charts, diagrams, or maps, and it does not teach General Training letters. It does not cover Speaking or Listening, and it does not book a test or send a result to an institution. The Estimated Band is there to guide your study. It is not an examiner's mark, and it is not a prediction of what you will be awarded on test day.

If you already have a draft, check a Task 2 essay. If you want a question first, start from the Task 2 topics or the question-type guides. The public band descriptors explain what each criterion is looking for, in plain English.

Who it is for

Band7 is for candidates practising Task 2 between classes or on their own, including people aiming towards Band 7 who want to see which criterion is holding an essay back. You stay the author. A Learning Rewrite can suggest a change to one or two sentences, and it changes your text only after you confirm it. The service does not write a finished essay for you, and it is not a substitute for a teacher.

A free account includes a monthly allowance of Grade Reports. When a paid plan is offered, billing is in USD through Stripe.
