Paper or computer
The preparation is the same
IELTS offers both paper-based and computerised tests
that examines your English using every-day, non-academic English,
and is accepted for migration,
secondary education and work experience in Australia.
IELTS on paper
Writing, then reading, then listening. Speaking is face to face with a trained examiner on a separate day.
IELTS on computer
Listening, reading and writing, typed rather than handwritten. Results come back faster. Speaking is still face to face.
Speaking
Speaking under real conditions
Practised face to face, timed, with an examiner-style prompt sheet. Not read aloud from a textbook.
Writing
Writing marked line by line
Task 1 and Task 2 returned with band descriptors against your own sentences, so you can see where the mark went.
Levels
Beginner and advanced streams
Starting at 4.5 and starting at 6.5 are different problems. They’re taught separately.
