Terms of Service
Last updated 8 October 2026
What 9Ready is
9Ready is an online practice platform for the IELTS exam. Our tests are written by us to match the format and timing of the real exam. They are not official IELTS materials, and we are not connected with the organisations that run IELTS. IELTS is a registered trademark of its owners.
Scores are a guide
Practice band scores are estimates to help you prepare. They don't guarantee any result in the real exam.
Your account
- Give a real email address and keep your password private.
- One account per person. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
Fair use
- Don't copy, resell or publish our tests, answers or explanations.
- Don't try to break, overload or get around the security of the service.
- Don't upload anything illegal or harmful in essays, recordings or messages.
We may suspend accounts that break these rules.
Your work
Your essays and recordings belong to you. You allow us to store and process them so we can show them to you and give feedback.
Plans and payments
The Free plan costs nothing. Paid plans are not available yet; when they launch, their prices, billing and cancellation terms will be added here before anyone is charged.
Availability
We work hard to keep 9Ready running, but the service is provided "as is" and may sometimes be unavailable or change. We aren't liable for losses caused by using or not being able to use the practice service, as far as the law allows.
Closing your account
You can ask us to close your account at any time through the contact form.
Changes
We may update these terms. If the changes are important, we'll tell you before they apply.
