4. What is CD IELTS?
Let’s start with the first set of slides
5. IELTS CD is the latest way to deliver the IELTS test.
The full form of CD IELTS is a computer-delivered International English Language
Testing System.
This IELTS test is similar to the pen-paper-based IELTS exam. The only difference is in
the way of taking the test.
The pen-paper IELTS is taken on paper, whereas the CD-IELTS is taken on the
computer.
The three modules listening, reading, and writing, took place on the same day on the
computer. But the speaking test can be scheduled before or after the other three
modules.
The speaking test is a face-to-face interview same as the pen-paper-based IELTS.
We hope now it is clear to you what the Computer-Delivered IELTS exam is. So let’s
move to the exam centers for the CD IELTS exam.
