    Speaking testOn-site, face-to-faceOn-site, face-to-face

    Both versions of the IELTS test assess exactly the same language skills and consist of
    the same types of tasks. Additionally, both versions take place on-site at our Examination Center.
    They differ in the medium of the exam (paper and pen/pencil or computer and keyboard)
    and the waiting time for results and the certificate – 13 days for the paper-based version and 1-5 days for the computer-based version.

    Which version of the IELTS test should I choose?

    The decision between the paper and computer-based form of the IELTS test depends on the candidate’s preferences.

    Candidates who often write by hand and are familiar with conventional exam formats might find the paper-based version (PB) more comfortable to choose; those who regularly use a keyboard may prefer the computer-based version.
    Another significant factor in choosing the exam version is the waiting period for results, which is longer for the paper version.

    • Arrive on time – Make sure you know the time and date of your test provided in your confirmation email. Allow enough time to travel to the test centre. Late candidates may not be allowed to take the test.
    • Be prepared – Make sure you have the right ID with you. You will not be allowed to take the test if you do not have the right ID. Make sure you have something to eat and drink beforehand.

    • Stay aware of the time – Stay aware of the time so you can attempt all questions. The Listening, Reading and Writing tests have a number of sections. Allow enough time for each section. Be aware that some questions have suggested time limits for you to follow.
    • Be calm and ask for help if needed. Work calmly, focus on the questions, don’t rush your answers and you will do your best. If you start to feel worried, take some deep breaths to help you calm down. If you have any questions the centre staff will help you.
