I often get asked whether a pen or pencil should be used in the IELTS exam. The answer is simple. You must use a pencil in the listening and reading test and therefore you should take an eraser into the test so that you can erase any mistakes you make. However, in the writing test you can choose to use either a pen or pencil.
