For: Learners choosing between IELTS Academic and General Training
The purpose differs
Academic is commonly used for higher education and professional registration. General Training is commonly used for migration, work experience, and below-degree study. Always check the requirement of the organisation receiving your result.
Match your practice materials
Use the correct Reading passages and Task 1 format for your test type. Task 2 is an essay in both tests, but you should still practise with current official examples.
