AN EXPERIENCE THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO USE MY MOBILE PHONE We absoluty can not use the mobile phone in the most of the test. Several months ago , I took an IELTS writing test in the GW university . I brought a small bag with my iphone . The worker asked me to save the bag firstly. Then, there was a strict security to sure I did not bring any electric equipment. I remember that I was checked for many times. Obviously, not allowed to use mobile phone can prevent cheating. The smart mobile phone is so clever that we can find anything, of course answers if we connect to internet. Therefore, we can not test the real level ability of examiner and the test has no value. It's easy to understand we not allowed to use mobile phone in most of the test.
