The format is the same. Listening section of Computer-delivered IELTS gives you 3 minutes review time at the end of the Listening section and 30 seconds review time in between the different parts of the listening section. There is a timer on the screen which makes it quite easy to stay within the time frame. You get a paper to make rough notes as well. You have an option to zoom-in and zoom-out the text to view the screen at ease and not give strain to your eye. You can move to different parts of each sections. You do not need to count the words as there is an auto count feature. Also, there is a note-making and highlight feature in the reading section. Nevertheless, speaking remains face-to-face like paper-based IELTS.
