Can I see a sample IELTS Writing report before signing up?

Yes. Open the sample reports on the landing page (Task 2 Band 5.5, Task 2 Band 7.5, Academic Task 1, or the flagship Task 1+2 report). They use the same examiner pipeline as a real Analyze. You also get one free demo check per network before creating an account.

How accurate is Stratum AI for IELTS scoring?

Stratum scores Writing using the same four official criteria examiners apply. Scores are AI practice estimates for learning — not an official IELTS result. Use them to spot recurring gaps (especially Task 1 data/logic errors), then confirm progress with a real mock or exam.

Does it support both Academic and General Training?

Yes. Use Academic mode for charts, graphs, and tables (Vision + overview/grouping strategy). Use GT Letter mode for General Training Task 1: tone (formal/semi-formal), every bullet point, salutation & closing, and a dedicated Letter Strategy panel after each check.

How does GT Letter checking work?

Choose GT Letter in Task 1, paste or generate a letter task with bullet points, set tone and purpose, then submit. The AI scores Task Achievement on bullet coverage and register — not chart language — and returns letter_strategy with per-bullet feedback and a full model letter rewrite.

Will using Stratum AI guarantee Band 8.0?

No tool can guarantee a band. Stratum highlights recurring grammar and lexical gaps and shows a model rewrite so you can practice deliberately. Your final score still depends on exam-day performance and official marking.

Is my data secure and private?

We prioritize your privacy. Your essays are processed via encrypted channels and are never shared with third parties or used for public model training.

Does STRATUM include a study plan and practice reminders?

Yes. Your Study plan page turns saved checks into a Writing profile: criterion averages, recurring error patterns, sub-topic trends, and curated links for weak areas. Optional email reminders in Settings let you pick local time, weekdays, and timezone so consistency becomes effortless.

Do I need an account to use STRATUM?

You can paste a short excerpt on the home page for one free band preview without signing in. Create a free account for full essay checks (3 included credits), saved history, model rewrite, and credit top-ups.

Can tutors add personal feedback and share reports with students?

Yes. After AI analysis, use Tutor's notes below the essay for custom feedback. Adjust criterion scores manually if needed, then Save to Archive, Share a link, or download an Official PDF — tutor notes appear in the shared report and PDF.

STRATUM — IELTS Writing Task 1 & Task 2 AI Examiner

How it works

Paste → 4 criteria → fixes → rewrite

One compact loop from draft to examiner-style practice feedback.

Paste

Drop in your Task 1 report, GT letter, or Task 2 essay — or generate a fresh prompt in the lab.

4 criteria

Get scores for Task Achievement/Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammar.

Fixes

See corrections plus Task 1 data and logic flags tutors often miss — not just surface grammar.

Rewrite

Compare your draft to a model rewrite and lexical upgrades, then save the check to your study plan.

Strongest hook

Task 1 data errors — caught before exam day

Many Band 6 reports look fluent but invent trends. STRATUM flags logic and data mistakes tutors often miss.

Before · common draft

“The chart shows that coffee sales increased steadily from 40% to 25% between 2010 and 2020.”

Data/logic flag: “increased” contradicts 40% → 25% (a fall). Fluency alone does not save Task Achievement.

After · corrected notice

“The chart shows that coffee sales decreased from 40% to 25% between 2010 and 2020.”

Example rewrite only — illustrates the kind of Task 1 logic check in a full STRATUM report. Not a promised band outcome.

Open Task 1 sample report

Lexical upgrade

Draft vs model rewrite

Weak Task 1 phrasing upgraded to academic register — same idea as the rewrite in a full STRATUM report.

Before · weak draft

“The graph shows that the number of people who go to the cinema increased. It was low in 1990 and then it went up high in 2010. Also, more young people like movies than old people.”

Lexical flags: informal phrasing, vague description, basic verbs — hurts Lexical Resource and Academic register.

After · model rewrite

“The line graph illustrates a significant upward trend in cinema attendance. Starting from a nadir in 1990, figures surged dramatically by 2010. Furthermore, younger demographics showed higher engagement.”

Example rewrite only — C1/C2 upgrades and clearer cohesion. Not a promised band outcome.

Open Task 1 sample report

Task 2

Draft vs model rewrite

B2 wording upgraded to academic Task 2 register — connectors, precise verbs, and clearer stance. Same idea as the rewrite in a full report.

Before · weak draft

“I think that technology is good for education. It helps students learn things faster and it is easy to find information on the internet. But some people say it is bad because students get lazy. In the end, I believe technology is very helpful for everyone in schools.”

Flags: personal opener, basic adjectives, weak conclusion — hurts Lexical Resource and Task Response clarity.

After · model rewrite

“It is widely argued that digital technology has revolutionized education. While critics worry about intellectual passivity, I assert that access to information repositories enhances research efficiency. Ultimately, when used strategically, these tools foster a more dynamic learning environment.”

Example rewrite only — academic openers, precise lexis, clearer cohesion. Not a promised band outcome.

Example rewriteIllustrative sample — not a promised band

The graph illustrates significant shifts in cinema attendance between 1990 and 2010. Overall, attendance rose substantially over the period, with a particularly sharp increase in the final decade. These trends suggest a growing preference for theatrical viewing despite the rise of streaming platforms.
