Computer-delivered IELTS
This test requires test takers to sit the Reading, Listening and Writing tests in front of a computer with the questions presented on the screen in one of our official IELTS test centers. The test takers then submit their answers through the use of a keyboard and a mouse. The Speaking test is not on computer and is carried out face-to-face with a trained IELTS examiner.
