A single AI mark out of 25 pretends a precision no marker — human or AI — really has. Bands absorb that variance honestly: you learn where you stand and what moves you up, without a number that swings on resubmission. It's the same reason our feedback quotes your own sentences — evidence, not vibes.
Also honest The Lab flags essays that look off-topic, generic, or AI-written — and caps the band accordingly. Practice only helps if it's really yours.
