Hi Adrian, Thanks for sharing this video. Can I use pencil to writing essay in PBT? Please help me to clear my doubt. Thank you!

[@Aehelp]

Hi, In the IELTS Paper-Based Test (PBT), it's recommended to use a pen for writing your essay and other responses. Using a pen ensures that your writing is clear and permanent, as pencil marks can be easily erased or smudged. However, always follow the instructions provided by the test center on the day of the exam. If there's any uncertainty, it's a good idea to clarify with the exam invigilators before you begin.

If you could send us a picture of yourself (face, like the ones on the website), we would be greatly appreciative. Also, please include your nationality. If you are willing, please send this to [e-mail]. This allows us to encourage other students to use our products and reach their goals and dreams.

[@Aehelp]

It's important to know that some people who prepare for the IELTS exam have very limited knowledge of the English language. For someone who's studied English from the first grade until 12th, it should be expected to get a band 7.5. Some people are also attempting to obtain a band 8+, which requires much more work than a band 7.5. Learn more at www.aehelp.com.

The choice between paper-based (PBT) and computer-based (CBT) IELTS exams depends on your preferences and test center availability. PBT is traditional, with handwriting, while CBT is typed, offers faster results, and uses computers for the Listening and Speaking sections. Choose the format that suits you and is available in your area.
