Select the correct answer.

You feel that the worst is about to happen and you need to visit toilet immediately.

What should you do?

Say "Code brown, I repeat, code brown" loudly

Don't do anything, embrace the inevitable

Show that you need a really big bottle with vigorous eyeballs and hands movements

Calmly raise your hand and wait until the invigilator notices it

To go to toilet, you need to draw the invigilator's attention raising your hand. Please note that although you can do this during any part of the exam, extra time is not given for toilet breaks. As Listening is a non-stop activity, and Writing time and word limits are challenging, it's considered practical for most test takers, if at all, to only go to toilet during Reading.

IELTS

If a university or visa application has ever asked you for an IELTS band score, you know the stakes are real: the same English you've been speaking comfortably for years suddenly has to fit a specific format and produce a specific number. Failing isn't usually about your English — it's about not knowing the test.

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the most widely accepted English-language proficiency test worldwide. Four sections — Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking — scored 0–9 per section and overall.
