IELTS on Computer (Writing on Paper)

If typing isn't how you do your best thinking, there's now a version of IELTS that lets you keep the pen.

You sit Listening, Reading and Speaking the usual way for a computer-delivered test. When you reach the Writing section, the questions appear on screen — but you answer on a paper answer sheet, by hand.

Nothing about the test gets easier or harder. Same tasks, same 60 minutes, same marking. The only thing that changes is how your answer gets onto the page.

Is this the right choice for you?

It's worth considering if:

• you plan and edit better on paper than on screen
• you're used to handwriting in exams and don't want to change that in a high-stakes test
• your typing speed is something you'd rather not think about on the day

It's probably not for you if you type faster than you write, or if you like being able to move a paragraph with a copy and paste. Both routes lead to the same score - pick the one that plays to your strengths.

What the test looks like

Available for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. For a UOWD application, you'll normally need IELTS Academic — check your program's entry requirements to be sure.

Results

You will receive your IELTS results within five days of your test date. Your Test Report Form will not indicate that you selected the Writing on Paper option.

If you choose to take One Skill Retake for the Writing component, you must complete the retake using the same test format as your original exam, meaning Writing on Paper if that was your initial choice.

Access arrangements

We are committed to providing fair access for everyone. If you have specific requirements, a range of access arrangements may be available. Please visit the Access Arrangements page for further details.

Why take Writing on Paper?

More flexibility

Choose the test format that best suits your preferences and allows you to demonstrate your writing skills with confidence.

Greater choice and faster results

Benefit from a wider range of test dates and availability, along with quick results, typically delivered within 1 to 5 days.

Move forward with confidence

If you would like to improve just one section of your test, you may be eligible to take a One Skill Retake rather than repeating the full exam.
