So now, you’re ready for your IELTS exam? Feeling a bit nervous? In this blog, we have put together a list of things you can bring with you to help you on the day of your test and what care you must take.

1. Carry Valid ID

You must carry your passport or a valid ID card along with you. It is recommended to keep a photocopy of the ID, if possible. IELTS test centers ask for your passport. It is accepted as your identification document. This is the primary step in the verification process.

2. Other Things You Must Carry with You

You are allowed to bring pens, pencils, and erasers into the test room for your written test. You can carry nothing except your ID for your speaking test. You can bring a water bottle but most IELTS test centres provide these facilities so you won’t have to worry.

3. Never Carry These Things with You

Things like mobile phones, watches, calculators, and other devices are not allowed into the IELTS test centre. Even if you need to bring your phone with you, switch it off and place it with other personal belongings outside the test room.

4. Security Measures at the Test Centre

A passport-style photograph of the candidate is clicked on the exam day at the IELTS test centre. Even if you take a photograph with you, they will not accept it. As the pandemic has affected everything. IELTS test centres might ask you to bring vaccination proof and you will have to undergo temperature screening.

5. No Break in Between the Test

No breaks are allowed in between the IELTS test. You must use the washroom before the test starts. If you still need to use the washroom, you can ask the invigilator and they will let you go.

But, you won’t get any extra time for your IELTS test.

Conclusion

IELTS test day is stressful. You need to remain calm and focused. Follow the aforementioned tips and follow the instructions given to you before your exam starts. Listen to them carefully to avoid any issues later. Don’t forget to take proper rest and eat good food before your test begins to prevent laziness or sleep. And, remember to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident.
