Pros and Cons of the COMPUTER-Based IELTS test + DEMO

[@ramandeepsingh6607]

Pros: Result in 3-5 days Fewer people , less noise Clock on screen sheet and pencil is provided Whole passage on screen Copy and paste the answer (less spelling error) Highlight the word Can take notes Can edit the lines ( writing section) Word Count Ctrl X and Ctrl V works here Cons: Just 2 minutes for reviewing the answers after the listening exam Typing speed should be better Typos can affect score Typos are not marked red

[@MukeshGupta259]

if we talk about listed cons that hardly affects if you are good in typing Just 2 minutes for reviewing the answers after the listening exam - you won't need this as you get enough time to review after every section Typing speed should be better - that's the main point to be taken care of Typos can affect score - same is applicable in paper writing Typos are not marked red - we don't get this in paper writing as well

Hi Asiya, I got my IELTS result a couple of days back and got an overall score of 8 (L:9 R:8.5 S:8 W:7). I took a computer-based test and had no idea about the test format as it was my first appearance, but your videos and materials helped a lot in familiarizing the test pattern. Thank you a lot for helping me to secure the desired result within a short span (My preparation time was less than 20 days).

[@froopyzombie2706]

Coincidentally, this video was released on the same day I took my computer-based exam. I find it much more comfortable taking the computer-based exam; I couldn’t find any disadvantages in the format. The major advantage for me had to be the copy and paste function which allows you to move paragraphs in Writing accordingly, whereas in the paper-based exam, you can’t do that since it requires erasing your entire essay

Even though it will not be my first IELTS, it will be my first computer based one. Let me say that this is way better than the French TEF. There is a reason why people prefer to speak English rather than French and even though this is not on the top, the ease of use and consideration of how the platform works makes a big difference. In the TEF I was struggling with annoying drop down menus for the answers so I could not see them at all. Thank you for this video.

Hi! Can I ask how you manage to get 8 in both reading and listening? I'm finding that those parts are hard for me!

[@sidscho2381]

@@rere9162 download their ielts app . Solve free practice tests . And analyse where you are making mistakes. In reading Before, I was missing articles and not managing my time properly. Tips 1) 17 min for section 1 20 min for section 2 23 min for section 3 2)always read question first remember keyword and look for answers. 3) after reading a particular passage always write a single word for it some where on your rough paper. 4) if you get stuck on one question, please move on. Don't spend too much time on one question. 5)skim and scan For listening After solving practice tests you will get confidence. 1)just solve more map questions for listening as it is more challenging. 2) learn about time (like 10 past 15 i.e 3:10 pm) and directions 3) if you miss one question don't panic. Be focused. I watch netflix series a lot so maybe my listening skill was better. For writing, people rarely above 7 So, i ignored this part. I just made sure i use simple and different words. My section 2 essay was not good at all. It was too bad 😂. But still i got 6.5 . Please focus more on reading, listening as they are more scoring

[@admincomments]

I think one con I don't really see anyone talking about. This is just an assumption but I could be correct, if you take the test on a computer, just like in the practice mock tests they grade it automatically through their system. Which is why I believe you get the results earlier. So there's no one checking your answers one by one, which might lead to being penalized as you're not getting half points for any correct answers you had but still left an error. for example, the question is asking you the price of the ticket and the answer is 200 pounds. But you only had to write down 200 since there was a pounds sign (£) in the sentence so now it's incorrect.
