Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the plans?

Only the length. Every plan gives you full access to Band Exam. The guarantee needs 3 months of continuous access, so it comes with the 3-month and 12-month plans.

Can I start with the 14-day pass and switch to a longer plan later?

The 14-day pass is made for students who sit the IELTS within the next two weeks. It's a separate purchase: it isn't deducted from the 3-month or 12-month plan, and it doesn't include the guarantee. If your exam is further away, the 3-month plan costs about 3 times less per day ($1.64 instead of $4.93) and comes with the guarantee.

Does my plan renew automatically?

Only the 1-month plan renews, at $89 a month, and you can cancel it in 1 click from your account. The 3-month and 12-month plans are one-time payments and never renew. Your history, statistics and study plan stay available if you come back.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, with Klarna at checkout: 3 or 4 interest-free payments depending on your country, where Klarna is available.

Which currency will I pay in?

Prices are shown here in US dollars. At checkout you see and pay the price in your local currency.

Does Band Exam cover Academic and General Training?

Yes, both. You choose your version when you set your target band, and you can switch at any time.
