What you get
How IELTS AI Coach Helps
Each SEO page answers one learner intent while pointing to a practical study workflow in the app.
Question-type practice
Train common IELTS Reading skills such as matching, completion, multiple choice, and detail recognition.
Vocabulary connection
Save important passage vocabulary so reading practice supports other IELTS sections too.
Practice example
Sample Reading review
Question type: matching information. The passage mentions that a project was delayed because funding arrived later than expected.
Weak attempt
I chose the paragraph with the word "funding" because it looked similar.
Improved version
The correct paragraph must include both ideas: late funding and project delay. Matching only one keyword is not enough.
What changed
1
Review synonyms and complete meaning, not just repeated words.
2
Check whether every part of the question is supported.
3
Mark the mistake as scanning too quickly, not vocabulary only.
