 Stationary for the test
by: IELTS buddy

Hi,

You will be provided with everything you need, so you don't need to buy anything.

Hi Jefferson,

There is nothing you can do. You can't do the speaking test on a separate session to the other modules.

You'll have to do the whole test again unfortunately.

 Do we have provision to see how much time left?
by: Anonymous

Hi,

This is chaitanya. I am have a quick question.

Will I know how much time is left in reading section or writing section? To be precise I need to answer 40 questions in 1 hour in reading section.

Will I be able to see how much time is left? As mentioned by IELTS they did not allow any watches into exam hall.

Thanks

Hey I could not speak for one minute on cue card task in my speaking test. How would you think it will affect my score?

And someone told me we have to use the provided stationary otherwise the computer will not detect your answer.

Is that true?

Actually you should be aiming to speak for 2 minutes, not one.

But anyway, it's impossible to say how, or if, your score could be affected as you are marked on your performance over the whole test - you are now downgraded suddenly for what you did.

I've never heard anything before about the type of stationary you use and the computer marking. Besides, the test is marked by people, not computers.
