Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How accurate is Stratum AI for IELTS scoring?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does it support both Academic and General Training?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How does GT Letter checking work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Will using Stratum AI guarantee Band 8.0?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Is my data secure and private?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

Does STRATUM include a study plan and practice reminders?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Do I need an account to use STRATUM?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

Can tutors add personal feedback and share reports with students?

Accepted Answer

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.
