Where you stand · what to fix · whether you're already at your band.
About 73 timed minutes across three locked sections: Listening (audio via your device), academic Reading, and a two-task Writing paper. Speaking is not tested; it needs a live examiner. You get a band per skill, an indicative overall band, and one honest call on what to do next.
A mock gives you a band. LENS tells you why: every wrong answer is timed against the real exam's pace and classified, and your Writing is read against the four official criteria. Listening and Reading are scored by fixed rules, so the same performance always gets the same band.
| Skill | Task | Time | What it measures | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Listening | 10 questions | 15 min | detail across two recordings | Fixed rules |
| Reading | 10 questions | 18 min | skim, scan, True/False/NG | Fixed rules |
| Writing · 2 tasks | Task 1 + Task 2 | 40 min | response, coherence, lexis, grammar | AI vs descriptors |
| Full sitting | three sections | 73 min | timed, no pauses | ~73 min sitting |
If you're already at your target band, the report says so plainly and points you to the free official practice. Nothing to buy.
It shows whether one weak skill is dragging your overall band down, and names the highest-yield thing to fix first.
It places you on the 9-band scale: a band for each skill we test, plus an indicative overall. A real band, not a guess.
Two engines, one report. Listening and Reading are scored by fixed rules, so the bands are always fair. Then our AI reads your Writing against the official descriptors the way a trained examiner would.
At band, targeted fix, structured prep or rethink the timeline — decided by fixed rules, with the reasoning shown. If you don't need paid help, it names the free official resources instead.
Your Listening, Reading and Writing bands on the 9-band scale, plus an indicative overall band: the mean of the three tested skills, rounded to the nearest half-band.
It separates marks lost to the clock or misreading the question from genuine gaps in English, and names which of the four criteria is capping your Writing band. Cheapest fixes first.
A focused plan to your chosen test window, guidance on how much runway your target really needs, a parent one-pager, and a free re-sit if a sitting can't be validly scored.
The AI writes the insight; it never touches the band. That is exactly what keeps the report both smart and fair.
From code to verdict in about an hour and a half of your time.
