Test takers are given additional time after the playback stops. In "common" paper-based IELTS, 10 minutes are given to transfer answers to the answer sheet. This time can also be used to double check the answers especially against the requirements in the questions. For computer-delivered test, 2 minutes are given to check the answers.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
It is an international standardised test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. Probably, it is the most popular formal English test in the world.
IELTS Listening
Candidates listen to four recordings of native English speakers and then write your answers to a series of questions. Assessors will be looking for evidence of candidates' ability to understand the main ideas and detailed factual information, the opinions and attitudes of speakers, the purpose of an utterance and evidence of test takers' ability to follow the development of ideas.
