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.

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.

Know how to navigate between test questions and parts.

If you want to skip several questions, use the question numbers displayed on the bottom of your screen to go directly to the question you want to work on.
Use the question numbers in each module of the test to go directly to the next module. This will give you extra time to get familiar with the context even before that part of the test begins.
