Rules To Follow During the IELTS Exam Day

Filipinos take the IELTS for three main reasons: work, study and immigration. The IELTS or the International English Language Testing System examination is a major requirement to any non-native English speaker who wish to work, study or live in English speaking countries particularly Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and even the United States of America. To be sure to hit the target scores, Filipinos always believe in the help of IELTS review centers when it comes to training and education.

In IELTS review centers, candidates for the test are given information about the test, the different tasks involved and skills to get a good score in the exam. Practices and exercises are given to students to hone their English skills for the test. Aside from this information, candidates are also made aware of the rules to be followed on the exam day. It is important to understand these rules so as not to make any complications on the day of the exam.

Here is what candidates should remember on the IELTS exam day:

• Be at the test center a couple of hours before the scheduled time. Upon arriving, some documents are needed to be filled out and your photograph is taken. Getting early in the test center also helps the candidate relax and adjust with the environment.

• No electronic devices are allowed inside the test center. These should be placed inside the candidate’s bag and will be placed on a designated area. Have mobile phones switch off or in silent mode to avoid disturbance while the test is ongoing.

• There are no breaks between the listening, reading and writing tests. Candidates are advised to use the comfort room before the test begins.

• Food and drinks are not allowed while taking the test. Be sure to eat or drink something before starting with the exam.

• Wear clothes that are comfortable and decent.
