Old Roast Duck IELTS 3000 Q&A Series: Is IELTS Listening Fast in Computer Test?

With the increasing number of IELTS computer test sites, many students will directly choose computer test when registering for the test. Will the listening speed of the IELTS computer test be faster than that of the paper and pencil test?

A: Although there will certainly be differences in the difficulty of the test between different sessions, on the whole, the listening speed of the IELTS machine test is not much different from that of the paper and pencil test. The details are as follows:

First of all, you should understand that even in the same session (such as the morning of March 12), there will be differences in the questions of the IELTS computer test and the paper and pencil test. At present, the IELTS computer test questions are likely to be generated temporarily, while the paper and pencil test questions are printed in advance. In this way, it depends on luck which is easier and which is harder.

However, no matter how the questions are set, the listening questions of the computer test and the paper and pencil test are all extracted from the same question bank. There are not only the content that has been tested in the past, but also the content that has been added. Therefore, in the long run, the difficulty should be consistent.

However, in addition to the operation mode, there are some differences between the IELTS listening test and the paper and pencil test. For details, please refer to the following articles: How many minutes to listen in the IELTS computer test
