Common questions

What is LEAP?

LEAP is the AI study coach in Leap English Pathways, for PTE and IELTS. LEAP reads your own results, recordings and essays, explains your marks and suggests what to practise next. Every number LEAP gives you comes from your own practice.

Is LEAP free?

Yes, to start. A free account gets 4 replies from LEAP. Pro gives you 40 replies a day, or 20 on the 7-day pass.

Is PTE scored by AI?

Yes. Pearson scores PTE Academic with an AI scoring engine. Leap English Pathways marks your practice the same way: reading and listening with Pearson's published rules, and speaking and writing with our own AI engine.

How does AI scoring work for PTE?

Reading and listening answers are marked with Pearson's published rules. For speaking, our engine listens to your recording, checks your content against the task, and scores pronunciation and fluency separately, each out of 5. Writing is scored on Pearson's traits for each question type.

Can AI mark IELTS writing and speaking?

Yes. Our AI engine marks each answer on the four official criteria and shows you what to fix for a higher band. Your first band score for Speaking, for Writing Task 1 and for Writing Task 2 is free.

How accurate are the scores?

Our engine is calibrated to follow the official PTE and IELTS marking rules as closely as possible, using state-of-the-art research models. LEAP uses only the numbers from your own results, so its advice matches what you see.
