Can you take notes in IELTS Listening computer based?
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Computer Based IELTS test (CBT). Comments below come from various IELTS candidates. This known as CD IELTS (computer delivered IELTS) or CBT (computer-based test). Is the computer based IELTS test different? No. It is the same test but you put your answers on the computer rather than on to paper. Is the marking the same? Yes, it is 100% the same. It is the same test with the same marking. All that i different is that you type your answers on a screen. Are there any differences between Computer and Paper IELTS? Just one difference. In the listening of the paper-based test, you have 10 mins at the end of the test to transfer your answers from the question paper to the answer sheet. In the computer-based test, this is not the case. You will type your answers directly into the computer and at the end of the test you get only 2 mins to check your answers. For reading, writing, and speaking, the timing is the same. Every other aspect of the test is the same regardless of whether it is on computer or paper. Why take CD IELTS? The aim of offering CD IELTS is for people who are more accustomed to typing than to writing. If you prefer to type and can type at speed, this is the best way to take IELTS. If you are poor or very slow at typing, you should stick with the paper-based test. Information about the IELTS testDo I get transfer time for IELTS reading? Can I take a watch into the test?
