We recommend the computer-based exam. Why?<\/b><\/h3>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

You will be able to see your word count in real time in the writing<\/strong> sections, you work as a whole and edit with more ease.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will be able to use a pair of headphones in the listening section.<\/strong> You will be able to adjust the volume<\/strong> to suit your personal preference and reduce background noise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every section: there will be a timer on your screen which will indicate the time remaining<\/strong> in each part of the exam.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, you will receive your exam results in 2 \u2013 3 weeks<\/strong>, whereas with the paper-based version, you will receive your results in 4 \u2013 6 weeks.<\/p>\n
