In this exam center, I passed the IELTS test by the proposed new exam mode. This is to pass the writing test with a computer. This new mode makes it easy to fill response frames and allows those with writing problems (speed / readability) to achieve results that match their capabilities.
However, there could be changes that can improve the experiences of candidates who pass the exam.

1. Because of the prohibition of watches in the halls of oral examinations, it would be better to have a clock (or a watch stuck on the table) that indicates the time, so that people who pass their exams can better manage their time.

2. When passing the written exam, it is possible to put his personal belongings in the lockers. Would it be possible to do this for the oral exam?

A little temporal thing for this summer: because of the heat wave, people who pass the exam do not dress very much. But in the room where the candidates pass the written exam, to ensure the computers work and so that the heat does not affect the candidates, the room temperature is about 25-26 degrees Celsius. It would then be necessary to think carefully about what to wear on the day of the exam ......

Overall, the review was well prepared on both sides, reviewers and candidates.
