Prep Roadrunner — User Guide
Prep Roadrunner is an AI-powered IELTS training platform. It combines full mock exams (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) with a Practice Dojo of focused fluency games, a set of study tools (vocabulary, dictation, graded-reader novels, video study), and human coaching — all wrapped in progress tracking and a study roadmap.
This guide explains how to use every part of the app, page by page. You don't have to read it front to back — jump to whatever you're doing right now.
- Sign in — get into the app (it's one click with Google).
- Onboarding — set your target band, test date, and focus.
- Finding your way around — the sidebar, top bar, and dashboard.

How this guide is organised
The sidebar mirrors the app's own navigation, so the section you're looking at here matches the menu item you'd click in the product. Each page follows the same shape:
- What it is — what the screen/feature does, in one or two sentences.
- How to use it — the actual steps, in order.
- Good to know — controls, tips, and gotchas worth knowing before you start.
This guide describes the app as it is actually built. Where a feature is still being built (for example, Lessons), the page says so plainly instead of pretending it works. Exact prices and plan limits are intentionally not hard-coded here — those are shown live on the Billing screen, which is always the source of truth.
Conventions used in this guide
BUTTON_LABELSin monospace are buttons or controls exactly as they appear in the app (the app uses an uppercase, terminal-style design).- Coloured Tip, Note, and Warning callouts highlight advice, context, and things to watch out for.
- Screenshots are marked where they belong; if you're reading an early copy, some image slots may still be placeholders.
