Suggested solution: IELTS should remove diagram interpretations from its listening test
and adopt an exclusive multiple-choice format.
Insufficient time to read the section
I concur with IELTS Liz (2015) that there is insufficient reading time allotted to
candidates to read the answer sheet (e.g. maps, tables, diagrams and blank answer
sections) prior to the commencement of the audio examination.
Suggested solution: IELTS may extend the reading time by approximately 100%.
