Is the format of the IELTS exam changing in 2023?

February 07, 2023 • Shelly Cornick and Nick Lone

Hey! Please do NOT panic! There are no major changes happening to the IELTS exam (that I am aware of) in 2023 - they are not adding a new section to the speaking exam, or changing the amount of time that you have for each section, or making the reading passages more difficult.

However, some of our students have reported over the last few weeks that some of the exams that they have sat at the start of 2023 have deviated slightly from the current Cambridge book format.

Today, Nick and I explain what those changes are and how that could affect your IELTS preparation. You can read more about the episode on this link: https://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-exam-format-changing-in-2023/
