How long is the IELTS reading test? Will the invigilator remind you

For students taking the IELTS exam for the first time, time arrangement is very important, especially in IELTS reading This kind of time is relatively tight on subjects. How long will the IELTS reading test last, and how many times will the invigilator remind you in the process? Old Roast Duck Xiaobian will share some common sense with you today.

First, in China and Southeast Asia, the IELTS reading test is generally arranged after the IELTS listening test. The listening test will end at 9:40, followed by the collection of papers, the issuance of new papers, and the filling of names, test numbers, etc. The speed of invigilators in different examination venues is also different, but they usually finish all the work around 9:50, and then start to read the exam. Australia has a different schedule. There is a test of writing, reading and listening. Therefore, reading usually starts around 10:10.

Secondly, the whole reading test will last for 60 minutes. During this period, you should complete 3 articles and 40 topics. Time is extremely tight. In fact, it is very common for students at the level of 6 or so to fail to finish reading within the specified time. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the allocation of IELTS reading time.

Finally, there are clocks in front of each IELTS test room, so you don't have to worry about the time. In addition, the invigilator will remind everyone of the time in 20 minutes, 40 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the exam. Some invigilators will remind again in the last five minutes. Since IELTS reading does not leave time for filling in the answer sheet, everyone should remember to transcribe the answers. Don't finish all the questions at last, but don't write any answers. When I left the examination room, I began to cry.
