IELTS- ACADEMIC/GENERAL
The IELTS test is divided into two types: Academic and General Training. The former is intended for individuals applying for higher education or professional registration, while the latter is for those migrating to Australia, Canada, and the UK, or seeking secondary education, training programs, and work experience in English-speaking environments. Both versions evaluate your proficiency in listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and provide an unbiased assessment, accommodating all standard English varieties. The exam consists of the Listening, Reading, and Writing sections, which are conducted on the same day without breaks, and the Speaking section, which can be scheduled a week before or after the other tests, with a total test duration of 2 hours and 45 minutes.
