Same team, two products
IELTS Memo vs Memo Chat+, which one should you use?
Both are built by the same team, for different jobs. IELTS Memo goes deep — a complete IELTS speaking and writing-improvement system built around one exam. Memo Chat+ goes wide — a fast, seamless, conversational tutor across 13 exams. Here’s the real difference.
What is Memo Chat+?
One AI tutor, 13 exams
Memo Chat+ (chat.ieltsmemo.com) is a companion product from the IELTS Memo team, built for fast, conversational practice across IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, PTE Academic, Cambridge English, OET, the Duolingo English Test, SAT, GRE, GMAT, the Japanese nursing exam, AEAS, and HSK — all in a single chat.
Every question type, in chat
Ask for any task your exam actually has — essays, letters, reading drills, cloze, case questions. The tutor sets it in the real format, waits for your answers, then marks with explanations quoting the evidence.
Every skill, one tutor
Reading, writing, listening, speaking, and math — practice whichever skills your exam actually tests, all inside the same chat, no separate app for each.
Your tutor on the go
Chat with an AI tutor that knows your exam inside out — ask about scoring, task types, grammar, or get a question explained. Switch between Student and Teacher mode for different perspectives.
Shared AI study forum
A real-time room where students from different exams study together with one AI tutor. Ask questions, get answers, and learn from what others are asking — live.
Feedback you can ask
Other tools hand you a static score and stop there. Memo's feedback is a real conversation — ask why you lost points, get a criterion re-explained, or push back on a mark, anytime after your result comes in.
Always updated
Every exam's format, scoring, and task types are checked against each exam board's own official documentation — and rechecked as exams change, so you're never practicing a retired question type.
13 exams and growing
IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, PTE Academic, Cambridge English, OET, Duolingo English Test, SAT, GRE, GMAT, the Japanese nursing exam (看護師国家試験), AEAS, and HSK — each with its own scoring scale, criteria, and task types.
Export & history
Export any conversation or speaking result. Full searchable session history across all exams so every piece of practice is logged and revisitable.

FAQ
Common questions
How is Memo Chat+ different from IELTS Memo?
IELTS Memo goes deep on one exam — Idea Bank and Guide Mode actively coach you through planning and drafting instead of just marking a finished essay, deep feedback breaks down every criterion, and progress is tracked across your entire essay history. Memo Chat+, from the same team, goes wide — one seamless chat where you can ask, practice, and get honestly-scored feedback across all four skills and 13 exams, without switching between separate tools.
Does Memo Chat+ give a band score?
Yes — Memo Chat+ scores writing and speaking on each exam's real scale (IELTS 1–9 band, TOEFL 1–6, and so on), honestly, right in the chat. What it doesn't have is IELTS Memo's surrounding toolkit — Idea Bank, Guide Mode, Vocabulary Builder, cross-essay progress tracking — since Memo Chat+ is built for quick, on-the-go practice, not a full study system.
Can I do a full speaking test on Memo Chat+?
Memo Chat+ practices one speaking part at a time. For a genuine Full Test — Parts 1, 2, and 3 back to back with one averaged overall band, exactly like the real exam — use IELTS Memo.
Which one should I use?
If IELTS is your only exam and you want depth — pre-writing coaching, deep feedback, progress tracked across every essay — IELTS Memo. If you want breadth and a seamless, ask-anything experience — fast practice wherever you are, prepping for a different exam entirely, or trying more than one exam in one chat — Memo Chat+.
Can I use both?
Yes — many students do. Use IELTS Memo as your main writing-improvement system and Memo Chat+ for quick drills between sessions, or when you're prepping for a second exam alongside IELTS.
