Onterra TutorAbout Onterra Tutor
Instant, examiner-style scores for people who cannot afford to walk into an exam blind.
What this is
Onterra Tutor is a practice tool. You write an essay, answer a speaking question, or sit a reading or listening set in the exam's own format, and the answer is scored against the same public criteria an examiner uses, in about a minute. It covers IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic and the Duolingo English Test, each scored on its own scale. It is not the real exam, it is not affiliated with the boards that run the real exam, and it never claims to be either; it exists so you know roughly where you stand before you pay a real exam fee.
Who runs it
Onterra Tutor at onterratutor.com is built and run by Nikstalis Holdings.

What it costs
Your first test is free, no sign-up required. A free account gives you four free tests every week, one each in writing, speaking, reading and listening, still at no cost. Unlimited practice, with a band-8 rewrite of your weakest paragraph on every score, is a paid plan priced at a small fraction of one real exam fee. See the current prices on pricing.
The refund rule
A payment that never delivers the plan it was charged for is refunded in full. A duplicate charge from a payment glitch is refunded in full. Beyond that, a plan already delivering unlimited practice is refunded within 7 days of purchase if you genuinely have not used it, in line with the full refund policy.
