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.
- 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
- 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 Melbourne 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?
Questions
Common questions from Melbourne candidates
Where can I sit IELTS in Melbourne?
British Council Melbourne is at 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne CBD. IDP has multiple Melbourne locations including the city centre and Clayton. IELTS on Computer is available across Greater Melbourne. Book 3–4 weeks in advance for preferred slots — Melbourne has high test volume.
What IELTS score do I need for Victoria state nomination (190 visa)?
Victoria's skilled migration programme requires Competent English (IELTS 6.0 in all bands) as a minimum. Many occupation lists and priority invitations favour candidates with Proficient English (7.0) or higher. Check the current Victoria Skilled Work Regional visa requirements on the Victorian Government website, as thresholds change with each nomination round.
Does AHPRA require a different IELTS score to NMC?
AHPRA requires an overall IELTS 7.0 with no band below 7.0 — identical to the NMC's requirement. For overseas-trained doctors registering with AHPRA under the AMC pathway, the same overall 7.0 with no band below 7.0 applies. Writing is consistently the lowest-scoring band and the one most worth focusing practice on.
