IELTS on computer or paper

You can take an IELTS test on a computer or on paper at one of our official testing points in Cyprus.

At most of our testing points in Italy you have the flexibility to choose between taking the IELTS test on a computer or on paper. 

No matter which option you choose, the test content and structure remain the same. The only difference is that you can decide whether to type your answers or write them down on paper, depending on what works best for you.

IELTS on computer

You will answer the Listening, Reading and Writing sections on a computer at one of our official testing points. The Speaking test will still be face-to-face with a trained IELTS Examiner or via video call at an official test centre.

  • If you take IELTS on computer, you will have more test dates to choose from – and your results will be available in 1–5 days.
  • This means you will receive your scores faster and electronically only, and have more flexibility in scheduling your test.
  • In addition, if you take your test on a computer, you are also eligible for IELTS One Skill Retake, a unique feature that allows you to improve your IELTS score without having to retake the whole test.

Computer-delivered IELTS tests are available in Famagusta-North, Larnaca, Limassol, Nicosia, Nicosia-North, Paphos.
