Cathoven

What it does

Cathoven takes in IELTS practice work and returns scored feedback. For Writing and Speaking, it grades responses against the official IELTS criteria and gives criterion-by-criterion feedback. For Reading and Listening, it offers IELTS-format practice and full tests. Users also get a diagnostic level test, a personalised study plan, progress reports and Catbot, an AI tutor. Separate Language Hub tools analyse text difficulty, adapt text to CEFR levels, generate reading passages and revise writing.

Students use it as a structured preparation routine: take a diagnostic test, work through daily tasks from the study plan, submit Writing and Speaking for detailed feedback, and track score progress before booking the real exam. The site claims Writing and Speaking scores fall within 0.5 band of examiner scores in 98% of cases, and offers a Score Guarantee to improve the Overall Band Score by 1.0 or receive a refund, subject to terms it links to but does not reproduce here.

It suits IELTS candidates preparing for Academic or General Training, and teachers or developers who want the language analysis or scoring tools via API. The full IELTS preparation is Premium, with weekly, monthly or one-time 3-month options; core Language Hub tools are free with daily limits and no credit card. API use is pay-per-call with free trial credits. Limitations include reliance on claimed accuracy figures, unverified guarantee conditions, and per-call API pricing that depends on usage.
