In the founder's words
I know what it feels like to sit the IELTS with everything riding on it. I also know what it feels like to evaluate thousands of scripts and understand exactly why students fall short of their target band.
BandForge is built on one principle — diagnosis before prescription. No generic practice. No guesswork. Just a precise understanding of where you are and a structured path to where you need to be.
Why BandForge exists
Three convictions, built into the product
Examiner-grade AI evaluation
Writing and Speaking scored against the same criteria a real examiner applies — not a generic rubric.
Diagnostic-first, not practice-first
You start by knowing exactly where you stand — then practise only what moves your band.
Built for South Asian English speakers
Designed around the patterns and pitfalls of our English — not retro-fitted from a Western test-taker's.
