Good news! Good news!
IELTS machine test has been logged into Adelaide! 5-7 days to get results! If you want to take the exam, you can check it out.
Now, when time is money, the conservative traditional paper test plus one month`s test results has long been behind the pace of the times.
I believe that is why many friends give up IELTS transfer to PTE..
However, after Melbourne, Adelaide has now opened up the machine examination to surpass Sydney! Race Perth!
Let me take a closer look at the contents of IELTS. First of all, the registration time of IELTS is relatively flexible, not just on the previous Saturday, but also in mid-week (except Monday).
But not every day like PTE, three of these tests a day.
IELTS time is still relatively fixed, only nine o`clock in the morning.
So we still have to get up early and be there by 08:30 at the latest (this is not very suitable for night owls or students who are in a trance in the morning).
But the machine test also has good place, even the spoken language examination time is also optional, early later to see which time is empty.
Moreover, because it is a machine test, so there are not many people in a test room, 20 people, a bit like the size of the PTE test.
After going in, it was a row of four people, not the one that was spinning around. Each person has a headphone, or Senheiselle`s oh, at the same time very sweet everyone will send a disposable earmuffs on top, probably for sanitary reasons.
Speaking of the test room conditions, let`s talk about the most critical-what is the change after the machine test, is it more suitable for everyone to take the exam?
1. The listening test is faster in pace and more compact in time.
You will have ten minutes to write your answer to the answer card after the paper version of your listening comprehension.
Now that this time is cancelled, you are listening and filling in during the exam. Each question will give you 30s-1mins time to fill in the answers at the end of each question.
And because there is no need to issue answer books, answer cards, so save a lot of time, but some students feel too tired, depending on people.
2. There is no way to take notes.
Before everyone in the hearing or reading, generally used to write and draw, the key words circle out.
After the computer test, although there is also highlight functionality, but the test found that it is not very easy to use, after all, it will take more time.
We are so nervous in the exam, all anxious to read the problem, a little waste of time may be less read several options.
3. The difficulty of reading is not low, many of the problems are similar to PTE`s reorder paragraphs.
Like heading, all sorts of pairing, and so on.
So if you are afraid of reorder paragraphs students, I would advise you to think about it, A class really has almost general problems are all related to pairing.
4. Writing too much word count, so you don`t need numbers.
However, it is believed that many students do not use numbers to write out the number of words to meet the requirements.
In general, the IELTS machine test is more like a change in form, and the kernel has not changed at all.
The difficulty is still that difficulty, the scoring standard is still that standard.
So before writing students, I believe there is still not much change after the machine exam.
Although the form will make people feel a little more comfortable, but the nature has not changed.
And, in contrast to the paper test, the machine test you`re imagining,
The biggest bright spot should be "talking to yourself" to the computer,
However, our IELTS still adhere to the "person-to-person" examination, is also very exclusive.
There is no need to feel embarrassed at all.
Of course, you can`t fool around with the machine.
I can only help you get here. It`s up to you to take the test, my friend.
