Beat writer's block before you write a single word
Idea Bank analyses your exact IELTS prompt and generates a full planning pack — tailored arguments, a section-by-section outline, and topic vocabulary — in seconds.
What you get
Three tools in one tap
Relevant ideas
Two groups of arguments, content points, or key features — each with a specific real-world anchor like a country, statistic, or named study. No vague filler.
Essay outline
A section-by-section structure guide written for your exact question type — opinion, discussion, problem-solution, Task 1 Academic chart, or GT letter. Each tip references your actual topic.
Topic vocabulary
Eight words and phrases that belong to your specific topic — not linking words, not generic verbs. Collocations, domain nouns, and precise verbs a Band 7+ writer would use.

Task coverage
Built for every IELTS writing task

Why it matters
Planning is not optional at Band 7+
Ideas anchored in reality
Generic arguments like 'it helps the economy' score low on Task Achievement. Idea Bank gives you specific anchors — countries, organisations, and data points — that examiners want to see.
Structure before you start
Most students waste time deciding what to write in each paragraph mid-essay. Having a section-by-section outline before you start means you write faster and more coherently.
Vocabulary that raises your LR score
Lexical Resource accounts for 25% of your band score. The vocabulary list gives you precise, topic-appropriate words that show range — the kind that distinguishes Band 6 from Band 7.
No more blank-page paralysis
Writer's block is the number one reason students underperform in timed conditions. Seeing three solid arguments and a clear outline removes the hesitation before you write a single word.
Ideas stay with you in full-screen mode
Switch to full-screen writing mode and your ideas, outline, and vocabulary are pinned at the top — collapsible, scrollable, and always there when you need them. Switch task tabs and each one remembers its own planning pack.
