IELTS in Accra
Accra is Ghana's largest IELTS city, with candidates preparing for UK Skilled Worker and Health and Care visas, Canadian Express Entry, and Australian migration. The British Council on Liberia Road and IDP in East Legon are Accra's main test centres. Ghana's healthcare professionals — nurses, pharmacists, and allied health workers — make up a significant share of IELTS candidates, many targeting NMC registration. Despite strong general English, Ghanaian candidates frequently plateau at Band 6.0–6.5 in writing due to IELTS-specific argument structure conventions.

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 Accra 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 Accra candidates
Where can I sit IELTS in Accra?
British Council Ghana is at Liberia Road, North Ridge, Accra. IDP Education operates in East Legon. IELTS on Computer is available at approved venues in the Airport Residential Area and Labone. Both organisations run multiple test dates per month. Book at least 4–5 weeks in advance as Accra slots fill quickly.
What IELTS score do I need for NMC registration from Ghana?
The NMC requires IELTS Academic with a minimum of 7.0 in all four bands. Writing is the most frequently failed criterion for Ghanaian applicants. IELTS Memo gives per-criterion feedback on every practice essay and tracks which patterns recur across submissions — so you know exactly what is preventing you from reaching 7.0 in writing.
What IELTS score do I need for a UK Health and Care Worker visa from Ghana?
The UK Health and Care Worker visa requires B1 English for most occupations. Nursing and allied health roles that require NMC or HCPC registration set a higher threshold — NMC requires Band 7.0 in all skills. Writing is almost always the lowest-scoring skill for Ghanaian applicants targeting professional registration.
Why do Ghanaian candidates with strong English plateau in IELTS writing?
Ghanaian written English is expressive and idiomatic, but IELTS Academic writing rewards a specific structure: a clear direct thesis, one developed idea per body paragraph with a concrete example, and cohesive devices used naturally. Without feedback targeting these conventions specifically, capable writers consistently score 6.0–6.5 rather than 7.0.
