What is the difference between CD IELTS and paper-based IELTS?

Accepted Answer

Computer Delivered (CD) IELTS and paper-based IELTS have identical content, question types, timing, and scoring. The main differences are: CD IELTS uses a computer for Listening, Reading, and Writing; results come in 3-5 days (vs 13 days); and more test dates are available.

Question 5

How is the IELTS band score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your overall IELTS band score is the average of your four section scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking), rounded to the nearest half band. Each section is scored from 0-9, with 0.5 increments.

Question 6

How long is the IELTS test?

Accepted Answer

The total IELTS test time is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes: Listening (30 minutes), Reading (60 minutes), Writing (60 minutes), and Speaking (11-14 minutes). The Speaking test may be on a different day at some test centers.

Question 7

How long are IELTS scores valid?

Accepted Answer

IELTS scores are typically valid for 2 years from the test date. Some organizations may accept older scores, so check with your specific institution or immigration authority.

Question 8

How accurate are your band score predictions?

Accepted Answer

Our scoring algorithm is calibrated against official IELTS scoring criteria. Most students score within 0.5 bands of their mock test score on the actual exam. Writing and Speaking predictions use AI analysis trained on thousands of scored responses.

Question 9

Can I take section-specific tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can take full mock tests or practice individual sections. This is useful if you want to focus on improving a specific skill area, such as Writing Task 2 or Listening.
