Please help - Exam Query

[neelarao]

Hi,

My husband is taking the IELTS tomorrow and we have a few doubts.

1. For the speaking test, will they be given a headphone?

2. For the writing test, should they use only pencils or is the use of pen allowed.

Thanks.

Me and my cousin both took the test.

Today was ok.
Just worried about tomorrow, mostly the writing section. I got to score 16 points from IELTS.

I am wondering will headphones be provided , since i am facing a difficulty of hearing over speaker, to understand the Australian accent.
I have found Australian accent in couple of examples. And i am already crushed with pressure of need to get 7.7in listening ???

For listening...mostly loudspeakers are installed that are good enough to cover whole examination hall. But at some centres, head phones are also used

They provided infra red headphones.
The audibility was quite good.
