38 پاسخ به “Pros and Cons of Computer-Based IELTS”

1. Hello Mr Pell, thank you for your video. I decided to take the computer-based IELTS two weeks later in Hong Kong. However, I am still not quite sure whether I can pass it in one take or not as back in the paper-based exam the writing component was always my weak point and I only got 5.5 on my last IELTS exam (though I got 6.5 in overall). I found out that slow writing speed and messy hand writing might be the reasons of why I cannot get a high score in the writing component. Regarding to this situation, may I ask is there any methods that I can use in during my revision in order to enhance my writing skills?

   Lastly, may I ask am I allowed to use a paper and a pencil for drafting during the writing exam in the computer-based IELTS? Or I can only do that in the computer? Thank you.

2. Can you use Ctrl-F in reading test ?

3. One thing you have not touched upon is LISTENING test, in this case a student will loose concentration to follow the audio while typing and finding letter!!!!! Meanwhile he/she might loose track of the audio subject matters!!!!!! I am mostly worried for my exam in this issue ….. Anyone have any thoughts on this????

4. can I answer in all capital
   letters in listening and reading?

5. Reading and Listening is more exhausting in computer based

6. Computer-delivered IELTS is very easy for those who have very good typing speed and those who daily spend hours on a computer. But, more importantly, listening and reading is a bit tricky than paper-based. So, that means need to do more practice with computer-based tests at home before going with computer-delivered IELTS.

7. can we use a paper and pen while doing listening section … thanks in advance

8. how about the reading test it is the same that you can come back to read it again same as paper based?

9. In listening section can we see the all the pages or only see the recording part at that time?

10. Thanks for the video. I am really excited that the UK just started doing the computer-based one. I did the paper-based and scored 5.5 on writing due to bad writing and stress from editing, and being concerned "that i have bad writing". I did a couple of mock up exams on the computer based and scored them 9.0 on all. The writing part is so easy due to giving you a word count and being able to edit as you go. THis was the most difficult part when I went to the paper-based exam. I didn't have time to edit my parts in the end and it was very frustrating finding little mistakes. Excited for the computer test in August.

11. Does computer delivered IELTS writing test have
    option of "RED LINE" under spelling error ?

    I did not mean any option of "Auto correct"
    or "Spelling Suggestion" option
    .

    I just want to know whether "RED LINE" show
    under spelling error automatically when typing.

    I found the option of "RED LINE" under spelling
    error is available during practice test on

12. With the writing test, unless you are paying attention to the timer, there is no warning (audible or otherwise) when the time is running out. When time runs out the screen just goes blank. If you were in the process of editing your essay you can sometimes be caught off guard.

13. Thank you for this informative video.. It helped me decide on which type of test to go for..

14. Dear Sir

    I want to practice computer delivered Ielts
    kindly send me the link of CD Ielts practice tests, where i can practice.

15. Thank you Mr Pell.
    Your advice tip is definitely helpful as I am trying to decide which exam-based method is best suit for me.

16. Sir, will spelling checker be there in the writing test?

17. Thank you very much for your advices.

18. Thank you for your information.

19. sir, plz tell one more thing..in case of listening if any currency comes like Euro/Pound..except USD..which are not on the keyboard..who to write them.

20. Dear Sir,

    I have a question about the instructions in computer based IELTS listening test. In paper based test the speaker gives clear instructions about the test section, number of questions to be viewed and time for viewing those questions etc.

    In computer based listening test are the instructions same or different to those of computer based test?

21. i find listening is trick and tough in cpt ? is it true ?

22. and what about Readings differences?

23. Is reading presented in PDF? can we highlight important words?

24. For the reading part,
    Are they giving a printed paper or do we have to answer going up and down in the screen?
    Thanks.

25. Hey! Highlighting and making notes is possible in computer-based test. Check here how to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEdn_xdMaVc

26. Good One

27. Thanks a lot dude for sighting those insights..
    Really helpful

28. Thank you, this is very helpful for me as I am taking the test on May 11th. I agree with what you said, its not the "paper based or computer based way" that will determine if you'll pass the exam but it's how diligent you are now with practicing and studying to improve your writing skills. Goodluck and Godless everyone!

29. The main pro of computer based IELTS is of course writing section. Especially for those who use computer in their every day life (younger generation). Word counting and editing is a huge advantage of course, but also one more thing to mention is speed. I've written a paragraph of 100 words on piece of paper and it took me about 3 minutes, while same paragraph was completed in just a minute through typing. So for me personally it is more convenient to type a text rather than to write it.

30. Will there be any paper given in listening test to note down answers and than type the answers in pc?

31. Sensing that sooner or later, computer-delivered will be the default option and paper-based will cost more. We're just moving forward with how we do our repetitive daily activities. We just need to go with the flow

32. 500-600 words could be written in 40 minutes. Shouldn't we write that?

33. people type much faster than write, and that's it! if you can't do that you need to learn. it has really good advantages ))

34. 2:16 pros and cons starts

35. One big minus point will be that you will not get extra 10 minutes to transfer listening answer to answer sheet

36. Thanks a bunch Chris

37. Please how do you register for the CBT ielts.

38. Last two cons are true. Screen fatigue and Typing distraction. Suddenly every one started typing and totally it was distracting me and I could not concentrate on my task planning. Need to figure out the solution for that.
