What to Expect on the IELTS Exam Day
Knowing what to do on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination makes
the candidate for the test feel relaxed and comfortable. Indeed, being familiar with the flow of the test
helps the candidate condition his or her mind on what to expect in the course of the examination. Let us
see what things the candidates should expect on the IELTS Exam.
The IELTS Sections
Every candidate for the IELTS is aware that there are four sections in the IELTS examination. Once you
are scheduled for the examination here in the Philippines, you are to expect that the speaking section is
done a couple of days before the other sections. The other sections are usually scheduled on a Saturday.
The speaking section takes about ten to fifteen minutes to be completed.
The other set of tests include the listening, reading and writing. The listening section can be completed
within 30 minutes where you, the candidate for the test, have to complete four sections in the test.
After the listening test, the reading assessment follows. You are given an hour to finish 40 questions on
the reading section. And finally, the writing examination which takes about an hour to finish is the last
section of the test. Two tasks are to be completed. You have to remember that the reading and the
writing sections differ when you take the Academic or the General Training exams of the IELTS.

On the Exam Day
Make sure that you are familiar with the test centre. To do this, check the confirmation sheet on the
location of the test centre and the time of the examination. Moreover, it will be much better if you
check the location of the test a couple of days before your speaking examination. You can check the test
location at http://ielts.org/test_centre_search/search_results.aspx. On your test day, be at the test
centre a couple of hours before the scheduled time.

In the Test Centre
Once you arrive, test centre administrators will be checking your identification (ID). Be sure to present
the ID you have used upon registering for the test on the exam day. Your personal items like bags will be
collected. Remember that you cannot bring anything inside the test centre except for your identification
and pencils.
The test centre administrator will be guiding you to your seat. If you have any questions or you need to
use the toilet, raise your hand and you will be assisted.
With this information, IELTS examinees can be more accustomed to the flow of the IELTS examination.
They will be more confident and assured while taking the examination.
IELTS Training
If you wish to improve your chances of getting your target band score, you should spend some time for
your review and training. You may have a self review but it is better if you enroll in an IELTS training
center for proper guidance. These review centers provide mock or simulation exams so that you will
expose yourself on what it feels like to be on the proper test day. There will also be a highly qualified
