According to the announcement of the British Council and IDP, all IELTS exams in Vietnam will be converted to computer-based testing, starting from March 30.
"This change is intended to provide a faster, more efficient and more convenient test experience for candidates," the British Council and IDP said in a statement.
The two forms of IELTS on paper and on computer are similar in terms of test format, questions, and scoring methods. However, IELTS on computer offers many outstanding advantages with support features that help candidates save time and focus more on their preparation such as: receiving results within about 2 days; flexible test schedule 7 days a week with 2-3 test sessions per day; last-minute registration 1-2 days before the test date; improving maximum score with the IELTS One Skill Retake feature (which is only applicable to IELTS tests on computers).
