IELTS

IELTS is the world’s most popular and trusted English language test for those who opt for study, work or migration. Depending on an individual goal, one can take either IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training. A Computer-delivered IELTS test format is a new addition to existing paper-based IELTS test.

Incircle IELTS preparation

IELTS preparation can be an overwhelming and a stressful experience without proper guidance. There is so much IELTS related information in printed and on digital platforms inundated by an innumerable number of methods and techniques rather to confuse candidates.

Incircle understands each student is unique and we believe one size does not fit all. Thus we walk each student through individually as well as in a group. At Incircle, we do not follow any particular methods or techniques to assist our students to become succeeded. That said we look into a range of innovative strategies and techniques and figure out which work out for a particular candidate individually or in a group. We always reinvent ourselves when it comes to our teaching approach. Our simplified teaching style, unparalleled and easy-to-understand course materials along with friendly expert teachers make the IELTS preparation much more interactive, immersive and result-oriented. Our expert teachers have a wealth of experience and knowledge. We possess an outstanding track record in preparing aspiring students for their desired success.

IELTS Courses

An assessment test is a mandatory first step when a student intends to admit our IELTS preparation course. This allows us to assess a candidate’s current English language skill. Based on the candidate’s performance in the assessment test, we recommend they enroll in Foundation English Language Course, IELTS Comprehensive Course, IELTS Crash Course or IELTS Club 7 Course. A student can choose these courses in-person, online or make their classes into a hybrid in nature. Mock tests are also offered to improve candidates’ exam temperament. We waive the mandatory assessment test if the candidate has already taken IELTS and has a valid IELTS report card but wants to retake the test due to lower scores.

IELTS Academic

The IELTS Academic test measures whether a student has the level of English language proficiency needed for an academic, higher education environment. It reflects some of the features of academic language and assesses whether an aspiring candidate is ready to begin studying or training at either undergraduate or postgraduate level anywhere in the world.

Candidates have a choice between paper-based or computer-delivered IELTS tests.

This part lasts between four and five minutes. In Part 2 , students will be given a card which asks them to talk about a particular topic. Candidates will have one minute to prepare before speaking for up to two minutes. The examiner will then ask one or two questions on the same topic.

Computer-delivered IELTS

The computer-delivered IELTS test allows candidates to take the listening, reading and writing test using a computer . All aspects of the test are identical to paper-based including contents, question types, timings and marking. The speaking test is still a one-on-one conversation with an examiner.

Advantages and disadvantages of the computer-delivered IELTS

Advantages: Candidates find it easy to write or type their answers if they are reasonably good at typing. The relatively larger size screen provided is very useful for reading. The dates for computer-delivered tests are more available than the paper-based tests and the candidates can get results in 5 days. These features make the computer-delivered IELTS test more desirable for certain candidates.

Disadvantages: Candidates with a poor typing skill may find the computer-delivered test daunting. Screen will get locked exactly at the mentioned time and the timer will not display seconds in the last one minute. So the candidates do not know when the screen will get locked.

Computer-Delivered Listening Test

The positive aspect of the listening part of the computer-delivered test is that the candidates’ ability to highlight the text and the working ca

pacity of the tab key to move from one part to another. However, a candidate needs to be able to listen and type simultaneously and has only 2 minutes to check answers rather than 10 minutes as in Paper-based IELTS. Therefore, students must get familiarized with the page look and feel on computer-delivered exams for each question type.

Computer-Delivered Reading Test

The best part of the computer-delivered test is that a candidate can have a passage on the left-hand side and the questions on the right-hand side. It is really easy and convenient to read
and answer the questions. Candidates can highlight the text and increase the font size. Another advantage for the reading exam is that candidates can copy and paste from the passage which reduces the chances of typos. Students are strongly advised to get used to scrolling up and down long articles to become accustomed to reading passages and navigating them on a screen.

Computer-Delivered Writing Test

The good thing about the computer-delivered test is that the candidates do not need to count their words. The computer will do their word count. It is easy to edit writing as candidates can cut, copy and paste. The bad thing is that a candidate can unintentionally make typo errors. Students are strongly advised to speed up their typing and become used to wring on a screen.
