How to choose overseas IELTS test
After Hong Kong, Taiwan Province Province and Thailand fell into the IELTS score list, Viet Nam and Singapore gradually became popular areas for IELTS score. Can I really get a score on IELTS in Vietnam? The overall score of IELTS in Japan is higher than that in Chinese mainland, and the popularity of English education is better than ours. Many students from Taiwan Province Province have gone to Vietnam for exams, which is very telling! The problems in Hong Kong are obvious: public hearing, noisy hotel environment, scattered written and oral test sites, and better English education than Chinese mainland. South Korea is a good choice, but when choosing South Korea, it is easily influenced by diplomatic events, and it was once difficult to get a visa. Indonesia does not go, first of all, there are many variables, because volcanoes and earthquakes often have to be cancelled. In addition, the sampling rate of IELTS in Indonesia and its surrounding areas is relatively high. The IELTS official in Thailand divides Thai candidates and China candidates into two examination rooms, and the examination papers are graded separately. Moreover, every time candidates complain and have unpleasant communication because of the extremely bad attitude of staff and examiners. To sum up, Vietnam is now the only virgin land in Southeast Asia, so choosing Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, IDP or BC has become a new question for candidates. Now let's analyze the difference.
Needless to say, the IELTS test in China is basically held by BC, so domestic candidates are familiar with BC's process and will not make mistakes in opportunities. IDP should report one day in advance, which will affect the itinerary. Moreover, the IDP registration application procedure is complicated, and the office, written test place and oral test place are not in one place. Slow IDP scores will affect the re-application schedule, especially for candidates with tight study time.
Hanoi is in the north, near the border of China, so you can take a bus or train instead of a plane. But the train was inconvenient and took a long time, so I didn't try. My students say the train scenery is very good. Students who have time and feelings can try.
In Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), many people in China took the exam in Ho Chi Minh, and the exam was always spot-checked. Spot-checking does not mean canceling the results, but the time for receiving the results will be extended. Only a few problems are found, and the qualification is cancelled. So now BC in Hanoi is the first choice for China candidates.
Whether going to Vietnam will really improve your grades.
The IELTS in Vietnam uses the Asia-Pacific volume, which is not a set of papers with listening, reading and writing in China, and each part will be different. Strictly speaking, the IELTS test anywhere is also not suitable for those who want to reach 6.5 or above in one step, and keep getting 4.5 or 5 points. The author often jokes that such students are on the moon, not to mention Vietnam.
