It’s a full computer-delivered test. You do the reading, listening, and writing in one sitting just like in the real exam and you take your speaking test with an examiner using zoom. It takes place just once or twice a week at the moment.

The IELTS indicator is for academic IELTS only. There is no indicator version for general IELTS. It’s available only incountries with no active IELTS centers.
