Everything you need to know about Lexis preparation for IELTS, PTE, and MET.
Are the Success Packages available?
The IELTS, PTE, and MET Success Packages are OPEN — launched September 1. Each is the complete preparation program for its exam: Readiness Check, full course, focused practice, and five AI-scored mock exams, in one guided plan. Find them on each exam page, or right here on Pricing.
What is Lexis?
Lexis is a Philippines-based English-test preparation platform for IELTS, PTE, and the Michigan English Test (MET). Each product uses original material, a test-specific runner, and the scoring language appropriate to that exam. Selected packages add expert human-rated Writing and Speaking review. Lexis was built by Brian Martin Sioson, a Band 9.0 IELTS scorer with 15 years of teaching experience.
Which English tests can I prepare for?
Lexis currently supports IELTS Academic and General Training, PTE Academic and PTE Core, and MET. Use the exam selector before purchasing because the test format, scoring scale, package inclusions, and available practice content are different for each product.
What is included in MET preparation?
The MET collection has three levels: a free Mini Test, a Mock Package with 10 full-length mock exams and 60 days of access, and a Success Package with a four-skill Readiness Check, five original mock exams written for the Success Package, the 14-lesson MET Masterclass, 2,000+ practice questions with explanations and AI feedback, 90 Writing and Speaking model responses with coach notes, and 90 days of access. The Success Package is available now.
What are the MET Masterclasses?
The MET Masterclass is a 14-lesson course covering orientation (format and scoring) plus focused strategy lessons for every tested skill — Listening, Reading and Grammar, Writing, and Speaking — ending with a readiness checkpoint. Lessons demonstrate practical approaches you can apply directly in the mock exams.
What is included in PTE preparation?
The ₱1,500 PTE Academic and PTE Core Mock Packages include 10 full computer-based mock exams with recorded speaking, timed tasks, AI scoring, PTE-specific score reporting, and 60 days of access. The separate PTE Practice Studio is not included; Practice access is only included when a package is explicitly marked as including it.
What does "human-rated" mean?
On one designated mock in your package, 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 — an expert layer on top of the AI scoring you get on every mock.
How is Lexis different from other IELTS platforms?
Three differences: every passage and prompt is authored in-house (no scanned Cambridge tests), each package adds an expert human-rated Writing and Speaking review on one mock on top of instant AI scoring on all of them, 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; an expert human-rated Writing and Speaking review on one mock with detailed instructor feedback; and 60 days of access for ₱1,500. If you want the lessons and guided practice as well, that is the IELTS Success Package.
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?
Your AI scores arrive within minutes of finishing any mock. For the human-rated mock, an IELTS instructor typically returns the rated review within a few days of submission. The review appears inside your account alongside your AI scores, with annotations and a written instructor note.
Which tasks get the human review?
On the human-rated mock in your package, 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. Every other mock still gets full AI scoring on all four skills.
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.
Can I try Lexis for free?
Yes. Every account gets one free full-length mock exam — all four skills, Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — scored by the same AI that scores the paid packages. Pick your exam on the Start page. One free mock per account; if you need another, message us on Facebook or open a support ticket.
