    No, the exam pattern remains the same for both paper-based and computer-based IELTS. The only difference is:

    Computer-based IELTS allows you to type your answers.
    Paper-based IELTS requires you to write answers by hand.
    The Speaking test is always face-to-face with an examiner.

    The overall structure remains the same: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking sections are identical in content and timing. However, the main difference lies in the delivery. In the computer-based test, you type your answers, which can be faster for some, especially in the Writing section. The Listening section also has slightly shorter breaks between sections. On the other hand, the paper-based test might feel more familiar to those used to traditional exams. I found resources like https://onlineassignmentexpert.net extremely helpful in breaking down these differences and helping me decide which suited my strengths better. It ultimately depends on your typing speed, comfort with screens, and personal test-taking habits..
