Pros of computer-based: - provides headphones for listening to avoid being distracted from environmental noise - results received quicker - good for people who are generally good in typing Cons of computer-based: - your eyes will get tired easily from looking at the screen especially reading essays - generally harder to pin point mistakes when your eyes gets blurry in Writing - facilities might hinder your performance in typing like a malfunctioned keyboard Pros of paper-based: - gets a natural feel in writing essays - u can highlight and scribble notes on the question paper to pin point the answers (Reading) - good for people who are fast at writing and has good handwriting Cons: - noise pollution during Listening - results are slower to get - those with illegible handwriting gives a hard time for examiners to read I think i might still go for paper-based
For paper based: headphones are not provided fr listening?? I mean do all candidates listen to single sound source?or separate headphones are given? It may sound stupid but im not aware of it im gonna take taste for 1st time
@@lakhankadam7608 For paper based there are headphones in one place and no headphones in another. The only way you will know - call to your examiner and ask.

ДНЕВНИК МЕМЕНТО здравствуйте, пожалуй скажите какой уровень был у вас до подготовки к ielts? И как вы готовились конкретно? Расскажите подробнее плз 💐💐💐
Peri Murzakanova это был мой первый тест, поэтому не знаю)) но английский у меня хороший. По подготовке я просто пересмотрела все видео на канале, поняла чего ожидать, сделала пробные уроки несколько раз. Письмо было самым тяжелым, нужно было практиковать больше, я же читала слишком много samples, поэтому во время экзамена просто застыла 😆и минут 10 не могла начать) и подготовиться психологически к говорению тоже))
ДНЕВНИК МЕМЕНТО вы счастливый человек 😁поздравляю вас , вы живёте в англоговорящей стране? Я изучаю англ всюду жизнь почти и нормально не могу довести его, вроде школа, универ, но не то. Теперь записалась на курсы)))
i guess if you will focus a bit more on writing task on academic section....more people that haevnt prepared a lot for the exam will definetely pay for extra informations. anyway...keep the good work and thank you for everthing
For me the important thing in paper based test is the possibility to make some marks on paper during listening, it really helps a looot + you can start reviewing the next more difficult questions as soon as the easy ones at the beginning sections are finished. If they give you a paper, but the answers should be transferred to the computer - then it's okay. If there is no paper on hands when you can see any question at any time - then paper based.
They do give you a paper to take notes also un the computer based, from the research I've done, and they take it and give you a new one in every section so you don't get to write vocabulary to copy for the next section. I'm also thinking about this option, even though I'll have no practise on the computer test ☹️
Thank you for your tips Asia, I am considering the computer-based exam because my typing is faster then pencil writing, and I always run out of time in paper-writing and wasted so much time on correcting my texts QAQ. I think I need to find some mock tests so that I can practice the format of the computer-based exam.
I’ve taken computer delivered IELTS exam and I got full mark on reading section☺️though my overall is only 7.5, I still have a lot of space needed to be improved!!!
After watching this video, I decided to go for paper-based test. Dont want to waste time on scrolling up and down or missing a question because Idid not scroll down. Also need to take into account how fluent the keyboard is and whether the keys are stuck.
i gave my ielts on septembar 2019 ,however i got 5.5overall because of lack of practice, now i am preparing again.and these videos really helping me alot
Thanks a lot for the brief yet complete information on the topic. I think I have made my mind, I will be going for computer-delivered IELTS....will share my experience after the exam. Thanks again and more power to you.
Idk. I still not sure. The only reason why i would like a computer based test is a writing part. I type much faster than i write. And u can fix your text easy without erasing your pencil draws. But in case of listening and reading is more comfortable to take on paper since u can underline key words, see all questions all the way. Hard deсision...
Hey Asiya, Firstly, how are you, I trust that all are good, Righ now I am telling you about your videos that are greatly helpful for me. Moreover, you explain very well in detail. I really thanks you
Dear Ma'am Thank you very much for this informative video. The information shared in this video is really helpful for IELTS aspirants. I want to ask a question that for computer based writing section what should range of typing word per minute ??
Absolutely loved it. Helpful, clear, and concise. This is amazing for anyone having trouble deciding between IELTS Computer and IELTS Paper. Although, I must add, watch it at 1.5x.
I will taking my general ielts examination in matter of 2 months. I am learning a lot Ms. Asiya! I would prefer using computer-based because my hand writing is not good under pressure. 😝
I absolutely agree. I would have found it difficult to give correct answers with no time to read questions before even if the test had been in my native language. The time is drastically short.
YOU have to arrange the time. Why to waste time on reading section 1 ? Practice enough to get all correct from there without pre-reading and use that time for reading mcq’s in advance.
Hi! I love your videos, they’re really educational! I would like to ask you, if you know, if there is an undo option in the writing part of the test? When, for example, the examinee accidentally delete their text, is it possible to bring it back somehow? Like in Word Office ?
Can we use Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V on the keyboard to quickly change sentence structures in the computer based writing exam? Or there are restrictions in the use of keyboard?
I just gave my computer based IELTS yesterday. Hey the timer shows seconds as well!!! Maybe at your time they didn't have that feature. Just keep the cursor on the time and you will be able to see the seconds as well.
@@alyssaxtann in writing make sure that u write enough points and choose that side in which more points are there.

You mentioned about IELTS for UKVI at the end of video right? Can you pls give some idea if that is required for study in UK or normal Academic ielts is enough?
IELTS UKVI can be Academic or General. It's just the only type of test that UK Gov accepts for UK VISA (a money grabbing scheme if you ask me). There's literally no difference in the content of the exam papers. Check with your university which type you need to take.
Hey mam thank you for the video My question is can we give computer based exam at home or we should go for idp centre for computer based exam? please reply thank you.
Yeah its much better to go for computer based exam. Its much convenient. I got overall 7.5 L7.5, R7.5, S7.5, W6.5. If anyone needs help, online one to one lessons, or guidance. can comment below!
Hi Asiya, in one of your videos you've said that you cannot actually see exact time on the clock of computer based exam (for example when it's less that 1 minute). I just accidently discovered that when you scroll your mouse onto the clock then minutes swich to minutes and seconds. I'm not sure if this is the case in the real exam but that's what happens in mock test at IDP website. Just wanted to let you know!
Asiya, I would like to know if we can select a statement cut and place it(or paste it) in a required cursor position? like, would "cut copy paste" work for computer based ielts exam?
Thanks so much for the tips you gave. But I have an extra question about the reading part, is it possible to use the Ctry+ F to search for some keywords in the text? Thanks again
Hi I have Computer based ielts test tomorrow.Before I took only paper based exam so I used to answer all the questions in capital letters for paper based exam.But, I am not sure that I can do the same in computer based test as well. If anyone can answer this that would be great help.
the problem for the computer exam is the writing section. it is not fair that normal people like me have the same lime long as professional fast typing individuals. I took it once, I won't never again.
I got overall 8.0, R-9.0, L- 9.0, W- 7.0, S- 7.5 in computer- based. I was benefitted from my fast typing. I had 10 minutes after i finished Writing and 21 minutes after i finished 3 passages of Reading. Computer-based is better. Thank you so much for this video.
My typing speed 25 wpm.. Which method should be prefer for ielts exam..??
Thank you. My writing speed is 23wpm. I think I should go for Ielts paper based. But Computer based result is fast. I am confused.
Do tell me how you scored better on writing?
In writing section, while checking atlast can we correct words if any mistakes seen, is it allowed or once typed can't be edited? Pls ans this
Wow very nice
Pros of computer-based:
- provides headphones for listening to avoid being distracted from environmental noise
- results received quicker
- good for people who are generally good in typing
Cons of computer-based:
- your eyes will get tired easily from looking at the screen especially reading essays
- generally harder to pin point mistakes when your eyes gets blurry in Writing
- facilities might hinder your performance in typing like a malfunctioned keyboard
Pros of paper-based:
- gets a natural feel in writing essays
- u can highlight and scribble notes on the question paper to pin point the answers (Reading)
- good for people who are fast at writing and has good handwriting
Cons:
- noise pollution during Listening
- results are slower to get
- those with illegible handwriting gives a hard time for examiners to read
I think i might still go for paper-based
For paper based: headphones are not provided fr listening?? I mean do all candidates listen to single sound source?or separate headphones are given? It may sound stupid but im not aware of it im gonna take taste for 1st time
