For the 2nd exam (computer based) I received the initial Test Report Form on a wednesday, asked for EOR and paid the same day and on the saturday of the same week I received the letter from IDP saying my band changed and the new Test Report Form.
My thought comparing computer and paper based:
Listening was kinda harder on computer. While using headphones makes it better, not being able to quickly make notes on what you heard (like numbers or keywords) on the paper close to the questions make it harder. (making notes on the computer is kinda inviable since you have to click and type while the audio is playing, also we were given a blank paper to make notes, but not being able to associate the notes with the questions makes it kinda pointless to me).
Reading was... I would say "more comfortable" since the visualization of text and answers simultaneously is better than having to flip pages to back to text.
Writing was easier as I work in IT and I'm faster typing than writing. Also, being able to copy, paste, quickly change words when reviewing and have the automatic word counter gives you more time to pay attention than doing it on paper. Also it makes it easier to not have to erase previously written words while taking care to not erase a part of another word.
Speaking is the same.
