Beginning March 29, all IELTS tests in Vietnam will be delivered via computer. There will be no more paper tests.
Vietnam is a large market for IELTS, as the test is widely used in the admissions process for domestic universities.
I’m curious is this is a one-off development, or if it hints at a coming trend. Many test takers really prefer paper tests, but obviously they have some drawbacks in terms of cost, marking speed and security.
Note that the speaking test will still be delivered face-to-face or via an online platform.
