Can I write notes in computer-based IELTS Listening?

Nov 5, 2026
Short answer

You are given a notes sheet and a pencil, but the notes are not marked, and anything you want scored must be typed into the answer box. Treat notes as working memory for numbers and names, and type the answer as soon as you are reasonably sure of it.
