Everything you need to know about Lexis, the IELTS Mock Package, and how our human review works.

What is Lexis?
Lexis is a Philippines-based IELTS preparation platform that combines AI grading with human-rated writing and speaking reviews. Built by Brian Martin Sioson, who has scored Band 9.0 across all four IELTS sections (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) and has 15 years of teaching experience, Lexis has served over 8,000 students.
What does "human-rated" mean?
An IELTS instructor reviews your writing and speaking submissions and gives you detailed annotations, an instructor note, and a sub-band breakdown across Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. It is the same kind of feedback you would get from a face-to-face teacher, the kind AI cannot reliably produce.
How is Lexis different from other IELTS platforms?
Three differences: every passage and prompt is authored in-house (no scanned Cambridge tests), each package includes human-rated writing and speaking reviews (not just AI scoring), and the platform is founded by Brian Martin Sioson, a teacher with verified Band 9.0 scores across all four IELTS sections, who personally trains the instructors.
What is included in the IELTS Mock Package?
The IELTS Mock Package includes 10 full mock exams covering Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking; instant AI grading with sub-band breakdowns on every mock; human-rated writing and speaking reviews with detailed instructor feedback; and 60 days of access for ₱1,500.
How long do I have access?
60 days from the date of purchase. That is enough time to work through all 10 mocks at a sustainable pace of one to two per week.
Can I retake mock exams?
Each mock exam is a single attempt, just like the real IELTS test. With 10 full mocks in the package, you have plenty of opportunities to practise and track your improvement across attempts.
Are the mocks the same as the official IELTS test?
The mocks follow the exact IELTS structure, timing, and band-scoring criteria. The passages and prompts are original, written by our team, so you get realistic difficulty without the recycled material you find on most other prep sites.
How does the human-rated review get delivered?
After you submit your writing or speaking task, an IELTS instructor returns the rated review within 48 hours. The review appears inside your account alongside your AI scores, with annotations and a written instructor note.
Which tasks get the human review?
Both writing and speaking are reviewed by our human experts. Each mock is taken as a complete test, just like the real IELTS, so all sections are covered. For writing, you receive annotations and a band breakdown. For speaking, your recorded answers are reviewed with feedback on fluency, pronunciation, and coherence.
Who are the human raters?
Lexis raters are IELTS-trained instructors who have themselves taken the test and achieved stellar IELTS marks. They are calibrated against Brian's 9.0 standard, and Brian personally reviews a sample of every rater's work for quality control.
How long should I prepare for IELTS?
Most students need 4–8 weeks of focused preparation to move up one band. The Lexis 60-day Mock Package is designed for this typical window: 10 mocks pace out to roughly two per week, leaving time for review and targeted practice between attempts.
What band score should I aim for?
Most universities and visa programs require Band 6.5 to 7.5. Specific programs (medicine, law, top-tier universities, certain immigration tracks) require Band 7.5 to 8.0. Check your destination program's requirement before setting a target.
Is Lexis suitable for Academic and General Training?
Yes. The Mock Package includes both Academic and General Training IELTS tests, so you can practise the exact format your program requires.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, GCash, GrabPay, and bank transfers via PayMongo. International cards are supported.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes. The free trial is a 30-minute sampler with one Reading passage and one Listening section, both auto-graded so you see your band immediately. Writing and Speaking sections are available in the paid Mock Package. You have 7 days from sign-up to take the sampler once. Each account can use the free trial once.
