Question-type diagnosis

Aura looks beyond the total score.

A correct-answer total shows what happened. Aura also considers the question type, evidence location and error pattern so the learner can understand what to improve.

Locate the evidence

Identify the exact sentence, paragraph or relationship in the text that supports the answer.

Recognise paraphrase

Connect the language in the question with different wording that expresses the same meaning in the passage.

Control distractors

Distinguish a supported answer from language that is relevant, familiar or partly correct but does not answer the question.

Use time deliberately

Decide when to scan, read closely, move on and return without allowing one difficult item to control the whole test.

IELTS Reading is marked by the number of correct answers, which is converted to an IELTS band score. Aura Education Group Ltd is an independent education provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by the IELTS Partners. Aura's explanations, analysis and learning feedback are independently developed.

A measurable Reading cycle

Answer, review the evidence and practise the pattern.

Reading answers are marked deterministically. Aura then uses the result to identify the most valuable question type or reading habit for focused practice.

Complete a Reading task Answer independently under clear task and timing conditions.
Receive an exact result Correct and incorrect responses are marked against approved answers.
Review the supporting evidence Understand where the answer comes from and why a distractor fails.
Practise the priority Apply the strategy to new items before returning to broader practice.

Example Aura recommendation

True, False or Not Given

Evidence detected

You answered accurately when the statement contradicted the text, but selected False when the passage did not provide enough information.

Current teaching priority Separate contradiction from missing evidence before choosing an answer.

True The statement agrees with the passage.

False The passage clearly contradicts the statement.

Not Given The passage does not provide enough information.

“I recommend focused True, False or Not Given practice before your next full Reading set.”

Clear review, not guesswork

See the answer, the evidence and the reason.

Aura helps learners build an evidence habit: find the relevant part of the text, compare its meaning with the question and reject answers that are unsupported.

Exact marking Approved answers determine whether each response is correct.

Question-type patterns Results reveal which tasks repeatedly create difficulty.

Evidence review The learner sees where the answer is supported in the passage.

Targeted next step Aura recommends focused practice instead of repeating everything.
