Will IELTS cancel the paper-and-pencil test?

This is not going to happen.

The computer test mode of IELTS has not been expanded, and the number of test sites is not enough to meet the test needs of all people in the country. Therefore, the traditional paper-and-pencil IELTS test will always exist, and the IELTS test with pen as the main part and computer as the supplement will last for several years or even longer.

From the current development mode of IELTS computer test, it can be seen that it meets the needs of some candidates who are inconvenient to take the paper-and-pencil test. Paper-and-pencil exams are usually held only on Saturdays or Thursdays, while computer exams can be evenly distributed almost every day, and candidates can even take exams at night, which is also very convenient for office workers and student parties.
