IELTS in Brisbane

Healthcare professionals, university students, and skilled migrants seeking Queensland state nomination sit IELTS in large numbers. Writing is the most commonly low-scoring skill — and the one with the most room for rapid improvement through targeted practice.

The problem

Others read it.
Memo learns it.

One-off feedback tells you what went wrong today. Memo tracks what keeps going wrong — across every essay you write.

Most IELTS apps
  • One-shot grading — no memory
  • Same generic feedback every time
  • Forgets your last session
  • You guess what to practise next
  • Tells you the score, not the pattern
IELTS Memo
  • Remembers every mistake across all essays
  • Guides and reminds as you write
  • Gives feedback with sentence rewrites
  • Builds exercises from your error patterns
  • Fixes overused words with synonyms

How it works

Three tools. One goal.

AI Memory

Tracks every error across your essays. After 3 essays, you'll know exactly which mistakes are patterns costing your Brisbane writing score.

Guide Mode

Live AI coaching as you write — every ~10 words. It spots mistakes in real time, before you submit, not after.

Targeted Exercises

Drills built from your specific recurring errors. Not generic grammar practice — exercises for the exact issues in your writing.

Scored on all criteria

Every essay, every criterion

IELTS writing is scored on four criteria — each worth 25%. Most tools give an overall number. Memo breaks down every essay so you know exactly which criterion to target.

Task Achievement

Did you fully answer the question and support your position?

Coherence & Cohesion

Does your essay flow logically from sentence to sentence?

Lexical Resource

Are you using a range of vocabulary accurately and appropriately?

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Are you using varied grammar structures without recurring errors?
