Candidates with Specific Learning difficulties (eg: dyslexia)
If candidates have dyslexia or another specific learning difficulty, they may need extra time to complete a paper. This might be necessary if, for example, it takes candidates a long time to read the questions or write their answers.
They may normally apply for up to 30 minutes extra time for completion of the Reading and Writing Modules.
Candidates with specific learning difficulties may also apply to write their answers using a typewriter or word-processor, if they normally write this way.
If permission is given for them to use a word-processor, it must not have a spell-check or thesaurus facility.
Please note that the IELTS Administrator may not be able to provide facilities for word-processing (including the use of computers or software). Candidates should discuss their needs with their IELTS Administrator.
