BandUp: IELTS Practice

Black & White Studio

About this app

BandUp is your calm, focused IELTS companion. Train all four skills, build the vocabulary that earns marks, and turn study into a five-minute daily ritual that actually sticks — until band 8 feels routine.

ALL FOUR IELTS SKILLS
• Writing — Task 1 & 2 prompt bank with a built-in timer, live word count, and a band-descriptor self-check; Task 1 charts are drawn with real values so you can describe them; save your drafts
• Speaking — Part 1, 2 & 3 question bank and cue cards; record your answer and play it back to review
• Reading — real passages with True / False / Not Given questions and instant scoring
• Listening — dictation and gap-fill that you listen to and type back
• Pick what to practise from a list and see your progress on every skill
• Study planner — set your test date, see the countdown, and tick off a weekly prep checklist

VOCABULARY THAT STICKS
• Smart spaced-repetition review queued automatically
• Word of the Day, pinned for the whole day
• Tap to hear any word pronounced
• Vocabulary boosters: idioms, collocations, linking phrases and topic word banks

SIX WAYS TO PRACTICE WORDS
• Multiple choice — pick the right meaning
• Flashcards — tap to flip, swipe to grade
• Typing — spell the word from its definition
• Sentence completion — fill the blank
• Word sprint — 60-second blitz with combo bonuses
• IELTS Mock Test — 30 questions, timed, band 0 to 9

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
• Add one word at a time, or bulk import a list
• Edit any word; changes sync to your library
• Search any word — if it is not saved, open Cambridge, Merriam-Webster, Oxford, Google, Bengali Translate, YouGlish, or Wiktionary in one tap, and BandUp remembers what you looked up
• Organize into decks; filter by mastery: New, Learning, Familiar, Mastered, Expert

PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE
• 12-week activity heatmap
• Mastery breakdown across five levels
• Streak counter, total XP, achievements catalog

BEAUTIFUL BY DEFAULT
• Material 3 and Jetpack Compose
• Light, dark, or system theme
• Adjustable text size and reduced-motion options

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your essays, recordings, vocabulary and progress stay on your device
• Speaking recordings are for your ears only — never uploaded
• No accounts. No tracking. No ads.
