The exam lasts 1 hour but the time should be divided between
Writing Task 1 (20 min)
Writing Task 2 (40 min)
Check yourself:
1. Can I spend more than 20 min on IELTS Writing Task 1?
2. Can I write 130 words?
3. Should I write or type when I practise?
Answers:
1. It’s not a good idea. The more you spend on Writing Task 1, the less time you have for Writing Task 2, which is worth more points than Writing Task 1.
2.It will negatively affect your writing band.
3. It depends on whether you take the IELTS on a computer or paper.
