📚 IELTS Test Day Checklist: A Label-Free Water Bottle and Essential Medication | 雅思考场可带物品清单：一瓶去标签的饮用水与必需药品
Test-day nerves are bad enough without a last-minute argument at the door about what you are allowed to carry inside. The IELTS test room is a controlled environment, and the list of permitted items is deliberately short: your identification document, a clear bottle of water with the label removed, and - with prior approval - any medication you genuinely need for a diagnosed medical condition. Everything else stays outside. This guide walks through the rules item by item so you can pack with confidence the night before and walk in calm on the morning of your test.
考试当天的紧张感已经够重了，实在没必要在考场门口因为「能不能带某样东西」而手忙脚乱。雅思考场是受控环境，允许带入的物品清单刻意做得很短：身份证件、一瓶撕掉标签的透明瓶装水，以及（提前申报获批后）你因确诊疾病真正必需的药品。其它物品一律留在场外。本文逐项拆解这些规定，帮你考前一晚从容打包，考试当天平稳入场。
1. The Golden Rule: Fewer Items, Fewer Problems | 黄金法则：物品越少，麻烦越少
Every IELTS test centre applies the same core principle: the fewer items you bring into the test room, the fewer opportunities there are for misunderstanding, delay or an accidental misconduct report. Invigilators are not trying to make your morning difficult. They are protecting the integrity of a globally standardised test taken by millions of candidates each year, which means anything that could conceal information, transmit information or distract other candidates has to be excluded by default.
所有雅思考点都遵循同一条核心原则：你带进考场的物品越少，产生误会、延误甚至被误判为违规的机会就越少。监考人员并不是想给你的早晨添堵，他们是在维护一项全球统一、每年数百万人参加的高利害考试的公正性。这意味着任何可能藏匿信息、传递信息或干扰其他考生的东西，默认都被排除在外。
The practical consequence is simple: pack a minimal kit. Your ID document, a correctly prepared water bottle, and your approved medication if you have any. Leave everything else - including your own pens and pencils - at home or in the secure storage area provided by the centre.
由此得出的实际结论很简单：只带最精简的一套东西。身份证件、准备合规的水瓶，以及你获批的药品（如果有）。其它一切——包括你自己的笔和橡皮——留在家里，或放进考点提供的储物区。
2. What You May Take to Your Desk | 可以带到座位上的物品
The permitted list is short and consistent across paper-based and computer-delivered IELTS. Confirm in advance with your own centre, because small local variations exist.
无论是纸笔考试还是机考，允许携带到座位的清单都很短，且大体一致。不过各考点存在细微差别，务必提前向你的考点确认。
- Your identification document - the same passport or national ID you used when you registered. It will usually sit on your desk for inspection.
身份证件——与你报名时使用的护照或身份证完全一致，通常需要放在桌面上以备核验。 - A clear bottle of water with the label removed - transparent, unlabelled, plain water only.
一瓶撕掉标签的透明瓶装水——瓶身透明、无标签、只装白水。 - Approved medication - declared in advance, in its original pharmacy packaging, kept within reach.
获批的药品——提前申报，保留药房原始包装，放在触手可及处。 - Medical aids you have cleared with the centre - for example an inhaler, a glucose meter, an insulin pen or an epinephrine auto-injector.
已与考点沟通确认的医疗辅助用品——例如吸入器、血糖仪、胰岛素笔或肾上腺素自动注射笔。
Nothing else belongs on your desk. If an item is not on this list and you have not received written permission for it, assume it is not allowed.
除此之外，桌上不该出现任何东西。如果某件物品不在上述清单内，而你也没有拿到书面许可，那就默认它不被允许。
3. Why the Label Must Come Off | 为什么标签必须撕掉
The unlabelled bottle rule is the single most misunderstood instruction in the whole IELTS test-day process. Candidates often assume it is about litter or branding, but the reasoning is purely about test security. A clear bottle lets an invigilator see, at a glance, exactly what is inside it. A paper label, by contrast, is an opaque surface on which small handwriting, a formula or a vocabulary list could theoretically be hidden.
「撕标签」是整个雅思考试日流程中最容易被误解的一条规则。考生常以为这是出于环保或品牌考虑，其实理由纯粹是考试安全。透明瓶身能让监考人员一眼看清里面装的是什么；而纸质标签是一块不透明表面，理论上可以在上面藏下手写小字、公式或单词表。
There is a second, more practical reason. The answer sheet is an optical mark sheet, and liquid damage can make it unscannable. Most centres therefore ask you to keep the bottle on the floor beside your chair rather than on the desk, so that a knocked-over bottle cannot destroy an hour of work. Some centres allow it on the desk; follow whatever the invigilator tells you on the day.
还有第二个更实际的理由：答题卡是光标阅读卡，一旦被液体浸湿就可能无法机读。因此多数考点会要求你把水瓶放在椅子旁的地上，而不是桌面上，这样即便碰倒也不会毁掉你一小时的答题成果。也有考点允许放在桌上；当天以监考人员的指示为准。
4. Preparing Your Bottle Step by Step | 水瓶准备步骤
Do this the night before, not in the queue at the test centre door.
请在前一晚就准备好，不要等到考点门口排队时才手忙脚乱。
- Step 1: Choose a clear plastic bottle, roughly 500 ml. Clear PET bottles are ideal.
第一步：选一只约 500 毫升的透明塑料瓶。透明 PET 瓶最理想。 - Step 2: Peel off the entire label, including the adhesive residue. Warm water or a little oil removes the glue. No sticky patch, no paper fragment should remain.
第二步：把标签整片撕掉，包括残胶。用温水或少量食用油可以除胶。不留胶印、不留纸屑。 - Step 3: Remove or permanently cover any printed text, barcode or QR code on the bottle body. If branding is printed directly onto the plastic, choose a different bottle.
第三步：清除或用不透明方式永久遮盖瓶身上印制的文字、条形码或二维码。如果是直接印在塑料上的品牌标识，换一只瓶子。 - Step 4: Fill it with plain water only. No juice, no squash, no fizzy drinks, no tea, no electrolyte powders.
第四步：只装白水。不要果汁、不要浓缩饮料、不要碳酸饮料、不要茶、不要电解质粉。 - Step 5: Avoid metal flasks, insulated bottles and glass. They are opaque or breakable and may be refused at the door.
第五步：避免金属水壶、保温瓶和玻璃瓶。它们不透明或易碎，可能在门口被拦下。 - Step 6: Check the cap seals tightly and give the bottle a dry outer wipe so it does not leave a wet ring on your desk or your ID.
第六步：确认瓶盖拧紧，并把瓶身外部擦干，避免在桌面或身份证件上留下水渍。
A prepared bottle takes two minutes and removes an entire category of avoidable stress on the morning of the test.
准备一只合规水瓶只要两分钟，却能一次性消除考试当天一整类可避免的紧张来源。
5. Essential Medication: What Qualifies | 必需药品的界定
IELTS does not ban medication. What it regulates is undeclared and unexplained items entering a secure room. If you have a diagnosed condition that requires medication, you are entitled to bring it - provided you tell the centre in advance and can show that it is genuinely yours and genuinely prescribed.
雅思并不禁止携带药品。它管理的是「未申报、说不清来源」的物品进入受控考场。如果你有确诊疾病需要用药，你完全有权携带——前提是提前告知考点，并能证明药品确实属于你、确实是处方开具的。
Typical examples that centres routinely approve include:
考点通常会批准的典型例子包括：
- Asthma inhalers - a reliever inhaler is the most common approved item in IELTS test rooms.
哮喘吸入器——缓解型吸入器是雅思考场最常见的获批物品。 - Insulin pens, insulin pumps and glucose testing supplies for candidates with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
胰岛素笔、胰岛素泵与血糖检测用品——适用于 1 型或 2 型糖尿病考生。 - Epinephrine auto-injectors for severe allergies, plus antihistamines prescribed for the same condition.
肾上腺素自动注射笔——用于严重过敏，也可携带同一病症的处方抗组胺药。 - Regular prescription medication for chronic conditions such as epilepsy, heart conditions, thyroid disorders, anxiety or ADHD.
慢性病的常规处方药——如癫痫、心脏疾病、甲状腺疾病、焦虑症或注意缺陷多动障碍。 - Prescription pain relief where a documented condition makes it necessary.
处方类止痛药——在已有病历记录支持其必要性的情况下。
Over-the-counter vitamins, protein supplements, herbal tonics, energy gels and general cold remedies normally do not qualify, because they are not essential to your health during a three-hour test. If you are unsure whether your item counts as essential, ask the centre in writing and keep the reply.
非处方的维生素、蛋白粉、草本补剂、能量胶和普通感冒药通常不在获批范围内，因为它们在三个小时的考试中并非健康必需。如果你不确定某样东西是否属于「必需」，请以书面形式向考点询问，并保留对方回复。
6. Declaring Medication and Access Arrangements | 药品申报与特殊考试安排
Declaration is the part candidates skip, and it is the part that matters most. Contact your test centre as early as possible - ideally when you book, and in any case well before test day - and explain four things: your diagnosis, the name of the medication, the dosage and timing, and whether you will need to take it during the test itself.
申报是考生最容易忽略的一环，却也是最关键的一环。请尽早联系你的考点——最好在报名时就联系，最迟也要在考试日前充分提前——并说明四件事：你的诊断、药品名称、剂量与服用时间，以及你是否需要在考试过程中服药。
You will normally be asked for a doctor's letter or a copy of your prescription. Request it in English where possible, and make sure it includes your full name as it appears on your ID, your diagnosis, the medicine, the dose and the reason it must be accessible during the test. A short, factual letter on clinic letterhead is far more useful than a long explanation.
考点通常会要求你提供医生证明或处方复印件。尽量请医生用英文出具，并确保其中包含：与身份证件一致的完整姓名、诊断、药名、剂量，以及该药必须在考试期间可获取的理由。一封写在诊所信笺上的简短、事实性说明，远比长篇解释有用。
If your condition affects your performance or your need for breaks, ask about IELTS access arrangements. Depending on your circumstances and the medical evidence you provide, a centre may grant extra time, supervised rest breaks, a separate room, or permission to bring food and drink for medical reasons. These arrangements must be agreed before test day; they cannot be arranged at the door.
如果你的健康状况会影响发挥或需要休息，请询问雅思的特殊考试安排。根据你的具体情况与提供的医学证明，考点可能批准加时、有监考的休息时间、单独考场，或出于医疗原因允许携带食物与饮品。这些安排必须在考试日前谈妥，无法在考场门口临时申请。
One warning: never slip medication into your pocket without telling anyone. An undeclared tablet found during a routine check can be treated as a rule breach even when it is completely innocent, and the resulting investigation may cost you your result.
一条警告：绝对不要把药悄悄塞进口袋却不告知任何人。例行检查中发现的未申报药片，即便完全无辜，也可能被当作违规处理，由此引发的调查可能让你失去这次成绩。
7. Items That Are Not Allowed | 严禁携带的物品
The prohibited list is longer than the permitted one. Leaving these at home is the simplest way to protect your result.
禁止清单比允许清单长得多。把它们留在家里，是保护成绩最简单的方法。
- Mobile phones - must be switched off completely and stored outside the test room. A phone that rings or vibrates during the test can lead to disqualification.
手机——必须完全关机并存放在考场之外。考试期间手机响铃或震动可能导致取消成绩。 - Smart watches, fitness bands and any watch - most centres now ask you to remove watches of every kind.
智能手表、运动手环以及任何手表——目前多数考点要求摘除所有类型的手表。 - Earphones, earbuds and Bluetooth devices of any kind.
耳机、蓝牙耳塞及任何蓝牙设备。 - Your own pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, highlighters, rulers or correction fluid - the centre provides stationery.
你自己的笔、铅笔、橡皮、卷笔刀、荧光笔、尺子或修正液——文具由考点统一提供。 - Notes, textbooks, dictionaries, electronic dictionaries and paper of any kind.
笔记、教材、词典、电子词典以及任何纸张。 - Food, snacks and chewing gum - unless approved in advance for a medical reason such as diabetes.
食物、零食与口香糖——除非因糖尿病等医疗原因提前获批。 - Bags, large coats and personal belongings - these go into the storage area, not to your desk.
包袋、厚外套与个人物品——放入储物区，不带至座位。 - Tobacco, e-cigarettes and alcohol - never permitted, and arriving under the influence can result in refusal of entry.
烟草、电子烟与酒精——绝对禁止；如到场时处于酒精影响下，可能被拒绝入场。
If you are unsure about an item, the safe answer is always: leave it behind.
如果你对某件物品拿不准，最安全的答案永远是：别带。
8. Identification: The One Thing You Cannot Do Without | 身份证件：唯一不可或缺的东西
Your water bottle is optional. Your medication matters only if you need it. Your ID document is non-negotiable. Without the exact document you registered with, you will not be admitted, and you will not receive a refund or a transfer.
水瓶是可选的，药品只在你需要时才重要，而身份证件没有任何商量余地。如果没带报名时使用的同一种证件，你将无法入场，也不会获得退款或转考。
The document must be the original, valid and undamaged, with a recognisable photograph and your signature where applicable. Photocopies, screenshots on your phone, expired documents and documents with a different spelling of your name will all be refused. For IELTS for UKVI and certain visa routes, the accepted ID type may be restricted to a passport, so check your booking confirmation carefully.
证件必须是原件、在有效期内、无破损，带有可辨识的照片，并在需要处有你的签名。复印件、手机截图、已过期证件，以及姓名拼写不一致的证件都会被拒绝。对于 IELTS for UKVI 及某些签证类别，可接受的证件类型可能仅限于护照，请仔细核对你的报名确认信息。
Arrive early. Most centres ask you to be there at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start, and check-in with photograph and ID verification can take longer at busy centres. Late candidates may be refused entry with no refund, no matter how good the reason.
请提前到场。多数考点要求你在开考时间前至少 30 分钟到达；在繁忙考点，拍照与证件核验的进场流程会更久。迟到的考生可能被拒绝入场且不予退款，无论理由多么充分。
9. What the Test Centre Provides | 考场提供的物品
You do not need to bring stationery, and in fact you are not allowed to. Understanding what is supplied stops you from over-packing.
你不需要自带文具，事实上也不允许自带。了解考点提供什么，可以避免你过度打包。
- Pencils, erasers and a sharpener for paper-based IELTS, plus a pen for the Writing component in some centres.
纸笔雅思提供铅笔、橡皮和卷笔刀，部分考点还会为写作部分提供签字笔。 - Answer sheets and question booklets, plus a candidate desk label with your number.
答题卡与试题册，以及写有考生号的桌面标签。 - Headphones for the Listening component, individually checked before the test begins.
听力部分使用的耳机，开考前会逐一检测。 - A note sheet and pencil for computer-delivered IELTS.
机考会提供草稿纸和铅笔。 - A locker or supervised bag area for your belongings.
储物柜或有专人看管的存包区。 - Water in the speaking test room at many centres, and a waiting area before your interview.
许多考点的口语考场内备有饮用水，并在面试前设有候考区。
Note that centres do not take responsibility for lost or stolen valuables. Bring only what you actually need.
请注意：考点对贵重物品的遗失或被盗不承担责任。只带你真正需要的东西。
10. Storage, Security and Mobile Phones | 存放、安全与手机
The most common way candidates damage their own result is not cheating - it is a phone. The rule is straightforward: your phone must be switched off, not merely silenced, and placed in the designated storage area before you enter the test room. If it rings, vibrates or is found on your person during the test, you may be disqualified and your result withheld.
考生毁掉自己成绩最常见的方式不是作弊，而是手机。规定很直接：手机必须完全关机（不只是静音），并在进入考场前放入指定存放区。如果它在考试期间响铃、震动，或在你身上被查出，你可能会被取消资格、成绩被扣留。
Plan your storage in advance. Put your keys, wallet, phone and bag into one small bag so that check-in is quick and nothing is left loose in a pocket. Empty your pockets completely before you sit down, including tissues, receipts and coins. Invigilators may conduct checks, including metal-detector wands, and a forgotten item in a pocket looks exactly like a deliberate one.
请提前规划存放方式。把钥匙、钱包、手机和包放进一只小包里，进场就快
