IELTS Preparation With a Real Exam Simulator and an AI Speaking Examiner

The IELTS Bro is an online IELTS preparation platform that combines a computer-delivered exam simulator, a live AI avatar speaking examiner and automated band-score feedback across all four IELTS skills. It is built for candidates preparing for IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training who want unlimited timed practice and instant, criterion-referenced feedback instead of waiting on a human tutor.

What you can practise

The platform covers all four papers of the IELTS exam in the same interface layout used in the computer-delivered test.

PaperWhat the platform providesFeedback you receive
ListeningAuthentic audio with all IELTS question types, split into four sectionsInstant scoring plus a band conversion from the raw score
ReadingFull-length Academic and General Training passages with in-passage highlighting and note-takingPer-question review with the location of the answer in the passage
WritingTask 1 and Task 2 prompts with a word counter and exam timerBand estimate against the four official criteria plus a model rewrite
SpeakingParts 1, 2 and 3 with a live AI avatar examiner that asks follow-up questionsFluency, lexical resource, grammatical range and pronunciation feedback

How the AI speaking examiner works

IELTS Speaking is the hardest paper to rehearse alone because it requires a live interlocutor. The platform replaces that with a streamed video avatar that conducts the full three-part interview.

  1. Choose a speaking test, or let the platform select one matched to your target band.
  2. The avatar examiner opens with Part 1 identity and familiar-topic questions.
  3. Part 2 gives you the cue card, one minute of preparation time and a two-minute long turn.
  4. Part 3 moves into abstract discussion questions that follow up on what you actually said.
  5. The session is scored against the four official Speaking criteria and returned with a band estimate and transcript.

Frequently asked questions

Is The IELTS Bro free to use?

You can start free. A free account includes the Cambridge-style Listening, Reading and Writing practice tests, the daily quest, your performance dashboard, the study planner, the community and games, the Learning Hub and the writing library. The Pro and Premium plans add Pro original tests, full mock exams, AI marking for Writing, AI live speaking tests, the AI tools and Alex, the AI Mentor.

Can I practise IELTS Speaking without a partner?

Yes, on the Pro and Premium plans. The AI avatar examiner conducts the complete three-part Speaking interview, asks unscripted follow-up questions based on your answers, and returns a band estimate against the four official Speaking criteria.

Does the simulator match the real computer-delivered IELTS test?

The interface mirrors the computer-delivered IELTS layout, including the question palette, the review flag, the split-screen reading view and the countdown timer, so the exam-day interface is familiar.

What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training?

Listening and Speaking are identical in both. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook passages and Academic Writing Task 1 describes a chart or diagram. General Training Reading uses workplace and everyday texts and Writing Task 1 is a letter. The platform provides both variants.

What is The Bro Codes course?

The Bro Codes is The IELTS Bro's video course: 76 short lessons, about six hours in total, covering Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking plus an exam toolkit, with Academic and General Training tracks. Ten preview lessons are free to watch; the full course unlocks with an access code or a Pro or Premium plan.

How accurate is the AI band score?

Scores are estimates produced against the four published IELTS assessment criteria for each paper. They are designed to show which criterion is holding your band down, not to replace an official result from a test centre, and no band score is guaranteed.
