Hi Geetika,

I would prefer a cbt compared to a pen and paper for the following reasons:
1. If your handwriting is difficult for others to read, your score may drop.
2. If written incorrectly it should be erased and erased.
3. You have to wait 13 days to get the exam results for you while cbt offers in 4-5 days.

There are definitely some cons to cbt as well. Do not choose this if you can not see the computer screen for a long time. If you can't type fast, it would pose a huge problem especially in listening. I personally gave a cbt test and aced it.

Thank you for your valuable insights. I had a query with regards to the second point you mentioned. Do we use pen for writing section and pencil for listening and reading section? 
Would appreciate your help clarifying this. Thanks!

Hi Geetika,
Personally, Pen and paper is definitely preferred to online exam. It's easier to read the paragraphs and even the writing task becomes easier on paper. But if you have enough preparation with giving online exam, I think you should go with whatever feels most comfortable to you.
