One tip to help you bend up to the right note, if you're using the 2nd or 3rd string, is to bend it up on that string, but then play the same note that you're trying to bend to on the string above. E.g. if I'm practicing bending the 3rd string, from fret 7 (D) up 2 frets to be the same note as fret 9 (E), you can check your accuracy by playing the 2nd string, fret 5 (also E), the 2 notes should be the same.
