Last Updated: September 6, 2026
Welcome to IELTS Self Study. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the IELTS Self Study website, services, learning materials, practice tests, quizzes, and other features available through our website (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using IELTS Self Study, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our Services.
1. About IELTS Self Study
IELTS Self Study provides online IELTS preparation and self-study resources, including practice tests, quizzes, vocabulary and grammar resources, learning materials, feedback, and other educational content.
IELTS Self Study is an independent educational service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to IELTS, the British Council, IDP Education, or Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
“IELTS” is a trademark of the respective trademark owners. Our use of the term is solely to describe the examination for which our educational resources are designed.
2. Eligibility

If you are under the applicable age of majority, you should use the Services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
By using our Services, you confirm that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you have the right to use the account or payment method associated with your account.
3. User Accounts
Some features may require you to create an account.
You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and up-to-date information.
- Keeping your login credentials confidential.
- All activity that takes place through your account.
- Not sharing your account with other individuals unless expressly permitted by your subscription plan.

5. Educational Content and IELTS Preparation
The materials provided through IELTS Self Study are intended to support IELTS preparation and self-study.
Our practice questions, estimated scores, feedback, explanations, and other educational materials are not official IELTS test results and should not be treated as a guarantee of performance in an official IELTS examination.
Actual IELTS test questions, scoring, difficulty, and results may differ from those provided through our Services.
Your results will depend on many factors, including your current level of English, preparation, study habits, test conditions, and performance on the day of the examination.
6. AI-Assisted Features
Some features of IELTS Self Study may use artificial intelligence or automated systems to generate questions, provide explanations, analyse responses, assess writing or speaking practice, or provide educational feedback.
AI-generated or automatically generated content may occasionally contain errors, inaccuracies, inappropriate suggestions, or incomplete information.
You should use automated feedback as a learning aid rather than as a substitute for an official IELTS assessment or qualified teacher’s advice.
Where appropriate, IELTS Self Study may modify, improve, replace, or discontinue AI-assisted features without prior notice.
7. Premium Subscriptions
Certain features of IELTS Self Study may require a paid subscription (“Premium Subscription”).
Before purchasing a Premium Subscription, you will be shown the applicable price, subscription period, and included features.
Access to Premium features is generally limited to the subscription period associated with your purchase.
We may offer different subscription plans from time to time. The features, duration, and price of each plan may vary.
We reserve the right to change subscription plans or pricing for future purchases. Any changes will not affect a subscription period that you have already paid for, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
8. Payments
Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.
By making a purchase, you agree to provide accurate payment and billing information and confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.
We do not generally store complete payment card details on our own systems. Payment information may be processed by the relevant third-party payment provider in accordance with its own terms and privacy policy.
9. Refunds and Cancellations
Refund eligibility depends on the subscription or product purchased and applicable law.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase or required by applicable law, payments for digital educational content and subscriptions may be non-refundable once access to the purchased content has been provided.
