At MTS, we’ve always believed that access to high-quality, affordable, and effective English language preparation should be a right and not a privilege. That belief drove us to develop MTS’s innovative AI-powered IELTS Mock Test platform, a cutting-edge solution transforming how international students prepare for IELTS, the world’s most widely recognised English language exam.
What makes our platform a game-changer?
Our platform is the world’s first IELTS mock test to combine instant AI-generated indicative band scores, human-checked feedback, and digital 'avatar' speaking tests in a range of English accents – available 24/7, from anywhere.
Since launching in 2024, we’ve already helped thousands of learners, giving them confidence, helping them improve their exam scores, and achieve their life ambitions.
We’re solving big problems like access, affordability, and the need for instant feedback on exam performance.
And with advanced cloud-based infrastructure, we’re scaling fast. Our customer base is growing and we are adding new tests every month.
With 80% satisfaction ratings and testimonials from learners around the globe, the results speak for themselves.
“The AI highlighted my grammar issues and gave me exercises that actually helped. I feel IELTS-ready now!” says Chen, a Chinese student currently studying in the UK.
