Pen and Paper Test Dates are Open!

A lot of us still prefer the traditional medium when taking tests. We want the comfort of the routine. We like the feel of going to a place, seating ourselves and then getting a set of question papers. Nothing sets us up for an exam like a physical question paper does. Well, you are not alone. And, by the looks of it, a lot of people have been waiting and requesting for it – and looks like our good old British Council has finally given in.

Starting July 25th 2020 (a very auspicious day), British Council has started pen and paper tests in select locations. Hyderabad and Delhi/Gurgaon/Gurugram are two of the lucky areas where the tests are now available in the traditional format.

If you want to book a test date, you can go to the usual IELTS websites, or  you can simply call First Academy, and we can help book a date for you!

Getting Ready

Nothing says we are ready to take the exam like taking a full length sample test. Taking a full-fat, no discount sample test will give you an idea of what the test demands from you. You will know if you are ready to focus of the length of the test. Remember, IELTS is a long test (more than 3 hours) and being mentally and physically prepared for it is very important.

Free Resources

The test also gives an overview of your writing scores. We know that getting a 7 in writing, or for some, a 7.5 in writing is vital. For those of you who need to understand what writing is all about, or, if you are retaking the test because of low writing scores, a good place to begin your re-preparation for the test.
