Format and question types: The IELTS listening test on the computer maintains the same question types as IELTS on Paper including multiple choice, matching, plan/map/diagram labelling, form completion, note completion, table completion, flow-chart completion, summary completion, sentence completion, short-answer questions. Also, the IELTS General Training test and the IELTS Academic test are exactly the same, consisting of four recorded monologues and conversations that will provide the answers for these questions.
The question types and passages for IELTS Academic reading in the computer-based IELTS test mirror those in the paper-based IELTS exam. They encompass a range of tasks, such as multiple-choice questions, the identification of information (True/False/Not Given), identifying a writer's views/claims (Yes/No/Not Given), matching information, matching headings, matching features, matching sentence endings, summary completion, note completion, table completion, flow-chart completion, diagram label completion, and short-answer questions.
In the case of IELTS General Training reading, similar formats and passages are employed, which includes multiple-choice questions, identifying information, identifying writer's views/claims, matching information, matching headings, matching features, matching sentence endings, sentence completion, summary completion, note completion, table completion, flow-chart completion, diagram label completion, and short-answer questions.
The question types for Academic Writing in the IELTS on Computer exam align with those in the traditional IELTS on Paper test.
In Part 1, you are presented with a graph, table, chart, or diagram and tasked with describing, summarising, or explaining the presented information in your own words. This may involve explaining data, outlining the stages of a process, elucidating how something functions, or describing an object or event.
In Part 2, your assignment is to craft an essay in response to a particular point of view, argument, or problem.
The IELTS General Training Writing assessment comprises two writing tasks with word limits of 150 and 250 words, respectively.
For Task 1, candidates are required to respond to a given situation by composing a letter. This letter could involve requesting information or elucidating a particular circumstance.
Task 2, on the other hand, necessitates that test takers write an essay in response to a specific point of view, argument, or problem.
During the Speaking test, you engage in a conversation with a certified examiner. This conversation is interactive and mirrors a real-life scenario as closely as possible within a testing context.
The Speaking test comprises three segments, each with a distinct purpose concerning interaction patterns, task input, and the candidate's verbal output.
Part 1 involves answering questions about yourself and your family. Part 2 requires you to speak on a given topic. In Part 3, you engage in a more extensive discussion on that topic.
It's important to note that the Speaking test is consistent across both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. Each of the three parts aims to assess different aspects of your communication skills.
