## Abstract
It is widely known that test takers with a more extended time allotment in IELTS can perform better in the writing portion than those with a lower time allotment. The most compelling argument for test providers to limit test administration time, particularly for academic writing activities, is practicality. This article assesses how the time allotted differently of 30 or 50 minutes affects the writing skills of English learners and that the time allotted for the IELTS test is confirmed as the most efficient. The test takers' writing was evaluated using a variety of measures in this study. An interview was also conducted to unveil their experiences related to the time allotment. The findings reveal improved writing skills in terms of fluency when a lengthier (30-minute) time limit was given. Complexity is also enhanced, and the learners are difficult to conclude. The learners' results could vary due to the two-timing conditions; they believe in performing better under the extended time allotment.
