**IELTS Ready Premium**

IELTS Ready: Premium is a self-study site that also offers our FlexCheck AI feedback. You can use the site to learn and practice when you like, as much as you like. There is no single correct way to use the site.

However, if you don't know where to begin, we suggest the following three steps:

1. Study a course or a topic in the Study section

You can select a full course or a topic by skill to work on in the Study section of the site. The courses and topics will get you familiar with the format of the test and how to best prepare for it with classes, training and practice exercises.

2. Attend daily live classes and watch on-demand classes

We offer daily live webinars on all IELTS topics and general English to help you to improve! You can register to join the live class, or watch a pre-recorded on-demand class if you cannot attend. Choose Classes from the menu to see your options.

3. Practice!

You can do full mock tests and also practice different question types for Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking in the Practice section.

Remember, if you have any questions or need any assistance at any point, just click on the chatbot button at the bottom of any web page. We're here to help you!

4. Get FlexCheck AI scoring for Writing and Speaking

If you want AI scoring and feedback for any Speaking or Writing practice you do, you can buy a Gateway or Advantage FlexCheck AI package. You will then receive a breakdown of your score based on the IELTS marking criteria, along with a vocabulary analysis. With an Advantage package, you will also receive detailed written feedback and pronunciation correction for Speaking.

Go to profile and then package to see your options.
