Which version of the IELTS test should I choose?
The decision between the paper and computer-based form of the IELTS test depends on the candidate’s preferences.
Candidates who often write by hand and are familiar with conventional exam formats might find the paper-based version (PB) more comfortable to choose; those who regularly use a keyboard may prefer the computer-based version.
Another significant factor in choosing the exam version is the waiting period for results, which is longer for the paper version.
