If I take IELTS on paper, can I write notes in the question booklets?

Yes, you are encouraged to write notes on the question booklets. IELTS examiners do not have access to your question booklets.

What order will I complete the IELTS test in?

For both paper-based and computer-delivered IELTS, you will do the tests in the following order on the same day: Listening, Reading and Writing, with the Speaking test before or after this test session.Depending on the test centre, the Speaking test can be done on the same day, or a day after your sitting test depending on the number of candidates for each venue.

What is the difference between IELTS on paper and IELTS on computer?

If you choose to take IELTS on computer, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing test parts using a computer. If you choose to take the IELTS on paper, you will complete the Listening, Reading and Writing test parts on paper. The Speaking test for both paper and computer are face to face with an examiner. This is the best way to measure your speaking skills as it takes a more realistic approach: a life-like conversation with an examiner.

Is the IELTS on computer easier than the IELTS on paper test?

The test format, question types, time allocated to each test part and content is the same for both the IELTS on computer and the IELTS on paper test. And because the content for both the IELTS on paper and IELTS on computer test is the same, the level of difficulty is also same. The only difference might be your level of confidence in sitting your IELTS test on a computer. If you are tech savvy, you might prefer to take IELTS on a computer.

Will I get my results faster if I take IELTS on computer?

If you take IELTS on computer, you will receive your results typically within 1 to 5 days after sitting your test. However, if you take IELTS on paper, you will receive your results 13 days after sitting your test.
