What is the difference between General Training and Academic IELTS?

• The Listening and Speaking tests are exactly the same for both.
• The Reading tests are slightly different because the reading texts are different.
  • The Academic test has academic texts from text books, journals etc.
  • The General Training test has texts from every day life and the world of work.
• Task 2 Writing is the same for both Academic and General Training.

The biggest difference is Task 1 Writing and this is where students make the most mistakes.

1. Tone

3. Development
4. Relevancy
5. Grammar and Vocabulary
