Old Roast Duck IELTS 3000 Q&A Series: Can I Pause the IELTS Computer Test Reading?

IELTS Computer Test Occasionally, we may encounter some unexpected situations, such as sudden black screen of the computer, or mouse and keyboard failure. And candidates may suddenly want to go to the toilet. Can I stop reading during the computer test?

Answer: No. There is no option to pause after the IELTS computer test reading starts. No matter what happens, the timing will continue. What should we do if the situation mentioned at the beginning of the article occurs?

First of all, the IELTS reading test itself is not allowed to go to the toilet. According to the examination rules, candidates can only use the bathroom with the invigilator 10 minutes after the writing exam begins. Therefore, the old roast duck should pay attention to the food for breakfast. Don't try strange food and drink too much water to avoid embarrassment.

Secondly, if the test is interrupted due to the equipment, the invigilator will record it after raising his hand. Although the exam will not be suspended, the IELTS official will arrange a free exam for everyone in a few days as a remedy. At the same time, all previous exam scores will be invalidated.

To sum up, the IELTS computer test reading cannot be paused, but if there is a problem, you should not worry too much. Just follow the arrangement of the invigilator.
