What should you bring to your IELTS exam?

When should you go, and what should you watch out for?

Today, Lindsay and Jessica discuss how you can be prepared to succeed on your IELTS test day!

On your IELTS exam day you should try to arrive 45 minutes early. It’s critically important that you get there on time. If you are late, you will miss the first section and can’t make it up. Missing an entire section will make it impossible to get a good overall score.

You should plan to bring your passport for identification. It is also okay to bring a bottle of water, but you must remove the label. Your belongings will be stored in a separate room while you take the test.

Usually all four sections of the exam occur in a single day. In the morning you will have the reading, writing and listening sections. In the afternoon, you will have the speaking section.

It’s important to understand that the morning will probably be more stressful because it will be so busy. On the other hand, you will likely have time to wait in the afternoon. Some speaking sections are scheduled as late as 6PM! For this reason, it is a good idea to know if there’s anyway near the test station where you could pass the time – a park, for example.
