Letter checker FAQ

Questions about the General Training letter checker

Is this IELTS letter checker free?

Yes. Every account gets 1 free feedback preview each month: an overall assessment of your letter, feedback on all four criteria, and a next step for each one.

The band score, criterion scores, and every sentence-level correction are included in paid plans.

Can it tell whether my letter should be formal or informal?

Yes. Tone is judged against the situation and the reader in the question, and the report marks words and phrases that do not fit.

Do I need to upload an image?

No. General Training Task 1 has no visual. Paste the question and your letter.

How accurate is the score?

On 14 officially scored General Training letters, our estimate was on average 0.43 bands from the examiner's score, compared with 0.75 for ChatGPT.

What if my letter is under 150 words?

Letters of 100–149 words are checked, and the report flags the length problem because short letters lose marks for Task Achievement. Below 100 words, the checker asks you to add more before checking.
