About us
Score Gap Diagnostic
Candidates usually request a diagnostic of their writing or speaking.
Writing
You will complete an IELTS writing task and submit it to us.
Then you will receive a short, personalised video and written report. This will identify specific issues that are limiting your score and practical recommendations on what to focus on.
Speaking
You will arrange a zoom call at a time convenient to you. The call will take the form of a practice speaking test and will be recorded.
Then you will receive an evaluation of your speaking and suggestions on specific problems to work on.
The Score Gap diagnostic:
Let's identify what's stopping you from getting your target score.
