How the IELTS on Computer works
Experience the convenience of taking the test through the computer-delivered format. Simply visit an official IELTS test centre, where you'll complete your assessment on a computer. Here, you'll find the Listening, Reading, and Writing questions displayed on the screen, allowing you to type in your answers directly. The Speaking section maintains its face-to-face format, where you engage with a trained IELTS examiner.
