IELTS Preparation (General)
IELTS - General & Academic
The first question to ask when you find out you
have to take the IELTS exam is: “Which version of the IELTS should I
take? The Academic or the General Version?” This is important because the scores are not
interchangeable so there’s no point in studying
for or appearing for the wrong exam! We strongly
encourage you to find out specifically, in your
case, which version of the exam you need to do,
based on the requirements of your receiving
institution. The Academic IELTS exam is the
more advanced test. This version is generally used
to determine whether candidates are qualified to
enroll in undergraduate and graduate academic
programs where English is the medium of instruction. The General IELTS exam is the
simpler test. It focuses on basic survival skills in
social and educational contexts. It is generally
requested for candidates applying for immigration,
working in certain professions, or studying at a
non-degree level. The simple chart below shows the main
similarities and differences in the General and
Academic IELTS.:
