Technology is
such
 an indisputable aspect of our life and technology already being implemented in numerous things in our life.
Moreover
, high-risk English tests, like IELTS, are having more tendency to be conducted
on
Suggestion
in
 the computer. I strongly believe that we can gain a multitude of merit rather than the disadvantages.
First
 off, the
result
 of the
test
 is faster, rather than a paper-based
test
.
In addition
, we don't need to go to an institution or a company that held the
test
 itself, we can just wait for the
result
 at our home because we can check it online.
For example
; I already took a mandarin
test
last
 month and I did the
test
 by computer-based, and after I finished my exam and waiting for the
result
 I was so surprised because the
result
 it came up faster than I thought. When I took the paper-based
test
 I need to wait for almost 1 month for the
result
, while utilizing computer-based it just needs to take 2 weeks for the
result
.
Furthermore
, we can save our time by doing a computer-based
test
.
Moreover
, if we took a paper-based
test
 we need approximately 3-4 hours to complete the
test
, while, computer-based
test
 only took 1-2 hours. There was a research conducted by a foreign language teacher from Monash University in 2015, he invited an array of students that have higher frequency to take a
test
. The
result
 is showing that almost 90% of the participants are more likely to choose a computer-based
test
 rather than the paper-based one. To conclude, a computer-based
test
 has a plethora of beneficial things rather than demerits.
