Our IELTS expert, Tony, has shared more technical tips on how test takers can feel more confident on their computer-delivered IELTS test.
Manage your time wisely in the Writing Section.
If you speak to people who took a CD IELTS test without practicing first:
• Some people do Writing Part 1 first, but feel rushed in Part 2.
• Some people do Writing Part 2 first, but feel rushed in Part 1.
To successfully complete both parts (Part 1 and Part 2), it is very important to know which time management strategy works best for yourself. The best way to develop your time-management for the writing section is to complete timed practice tests before Test Day. Global Village offers IELTS Preparation programs to help you reach your goals.

Our IELTS expert, Tony, has shared more technical tips on how test takers can feel more confident on their computer-delivered IELTS test.
Know how to “Click-Drag-Drop”.
Some CD IELTS questions end with the phrase: ”Move it to the gap.” The word “gap” means “blank space”.
To move an answer to the gap or blank, you need to click-drag-drop answers from right side to the gaps on left side.
Don’t try to click or input the answer as it won’t allow you to do this. Making this mistake can waste time and cause you to potentially miss answers.

If you are studying alone at home, you don’t have access to external input and advice. However, when you are part of an IELTS preparation class, your teacher will encourage you to ask questions during class time, even if you think they’re unrelated to what the class is working on.
You will benefit from the instructor’s answers, but others will benefit from your questions too. Good classmates inspire and encourage each other to be inquisitive.

COVID-19 is changing the way we live, work and go about our daily lives, but that doesn’t mean you have to completely pause the pursuit of your study abroad or migration goals.
Today, we want to share a helpful study tip from IDP that you can use during this time to help prepare for your test day.
*Tip: Get familiar with the IELTS test format*
There are four parts to the IELTS test.
Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
Each test part is made up of question types that assess your English-language skills in either an everyday work environment or life situation, academic or professional setting.
Make sure to look at how much time you have to complete each test part, what type of questions you might receive, what the band descriptors look like, and what you can do to achieve the band you desire.
You can learn more about how each IELTS section is marked at the link in our bio.

Trouble-shoot password entry errors.
When you type in your password, the test system will hide it behind asterisks to ensure privacy.
If you get the message “Your password is not correct”, you can use this trick to view it in plain text.
First, input your password into username box (instead of the password box). Once you’ve identified that it is correct:
Use Ctrl+X to cut from the username field.
Use Ctrl+V to paste it into password field.

Practice typing with a keyboard.
The CD IELTS test is delivered on a standard desktop computer, with monitor, mouse and Qwerty keyboard with English fonts. Also, typing with a keyboard is different than using our thumbs for text messaging on a mobile phone. If you use a non-Qwerty keyboard or mobile phone a lot in your daily life, do practice with a Qwerty keyboard so you can be as efficient as possible on test day.

We asked IELTS expert, Tony, to provide some technical tips on how test takers can feel more confident on their computer-delivered IELTS test. Here is what he shared.
Lots of IELTS test takers feel more familiar with traditional test formats, where you use a paper, pencil and eraser to complete the exam.
But if you stop to think about it, you’ve probably experienced at least one computer-delivered quiz or test in your lifetime.
Everyday life is full of computers – smart phones, email, online banking, shopping websites, virtual classes, and Zoom meetings.
If you want to register to take the computer-delivered IELTS test (also called CD IELTS), don’t doubt yourself. You’re probably more tech-savvy than you think.

After doing a Listening practice test, identify what section of the test is the most challenging for you and read the audio transcript, also known as a “script”. Underline the answers to the questions that you made mistakes in and note how the questions and answers on the test have been paraphrased.
Listening for synonyms and paraphrases is a skill that will help you perform well on the Listening module of the IELTS test.
