IELTS Writing Answer Sheet

IELTS Writing Answer Sheet

There are two types of writing tests that can be given. The first one is the paper-based IELTS test and the second one is the computer-delivered IELTS test. The test taker takes the paper-based test on the sheet given by the examiner. Thus, it is advisable to take the practice test based sample answer sheets that are available online. You can download the answer sheets for each section and practice your IELTS test in the answer sheets itself so that you do not have to struggle while actually taking the IELTS test. In this article, we will look into the IELTS answer sheets in which the candidates have to write their answers of Task 1 as well as Task 2.

Importance of using Answer sheets while practising

The test taker should use the answer sheet in the manner that the examiner wants him/her to use it or else there is a chance of missing the information as well as the danger of writing the correct information in the wrong places. This may, in turn, result in wastage of the whole answer sheet. Apart from this, if you know where to write the exact information, you will get some extra time to review the information. So let us examine the importance of practicing for the IELTS examination on the answer sheet.

• The importance of practicing the IELTS exam on the answer sheet is that you will know how many words can fit into a single answer sheet so that you do not have to sit and count the words. By this, you will also be able to save time in the actual IELTS exam.
• If one answer sheet is not enough you can take a print of another answer sheet and check for the word count. So you will get an idea of the word count while practicing itself.
• By knowing this information in advance, you can concentrate more on the content, grammar, and vocabulary instead of getting distracted by the word count while writing the answers.
• While practicing on the answer sheet you will also concentrate on your handwriting, you will not exceed the lines that are given which makes your handwriting look neat.
