Success stories
Real students. Real band scores.
The reading tests felt exactly like the computer exam. I improved from 6.5 to 8.0 in six weeks and got into my Master’s programme in the UK.
Alishba’s feedback on my letters was so detailed. I finally understood what examiners look for and got the CLB score I needed for Canada.
The mock tests built my confidence. Seeing my band improve on the dashboard every week kept me motivated till exam day.

Questions? We have answers.
Can’t find what you are looking for? Message us anytime.
Is Learn With Alishba free to use?
Yes — creating an account is free and gives you access to practice tests in all four skills, instant Listening and Reading band scores and your progress dashboard.
How accurate are the band scores?
Listening and Reading are converted from your raw score using the same conversion bands IELTS uses. Writing and Speaking are evaluated against the official criteria: Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range & Accuracy.
What is the difference between Academic and General Training?
Listening and Speaking are identical. Academic Reading uses longer, more complex texts and Academic Writing Task 1 asks you to describe visual data. General Training uses everyday texts and Writing Task 1 is a letter.
Can I practise Speaking online?
Yes. The Speaking test uses your microphone to record your answers for Part 1, the Part 2 cue card (with a one-minute preparation timer) and Part 3. Your recordings are sent for evaluation.
Does it work on mobile?
The whole portal works on phones and tablets. For full mock tests we recommend a laptop or desktop, just like the real computer-delivered exam.
