You can take the test either on paper, or on computer at IELTS official test centers. There may also be an option to take the test online.<\/p>\n<p>The IELTS Academic test is made up of four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Let us have a look at each of these section in detail:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Listening<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This section has four parts, with ten questions each &#8211; part 1 and 2 deal with everyday, social situations and parts 3 and 4 deal with\u00a0educational and training situations.<\/p>\n<p>The questions are in the same order as the information in the recording, so the answer to the first question will be before the answer to the second question, and so on. You will hear the recordings once only in different accents, including British, Australian, New Zealand and North American.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to the audio for 30 minutes and you will\u00a0have 10 minutes at the end to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.<\/p>\n<p>This section consists of 40 questions of 1 mark each. Marks will be deducted for incorrect spelling and grammar.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reading<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This section includes texts come from books, journals, magazines, newspapers and online resources. The\u00a0 topics are of general interest to students at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Texts may contain diagrams, graphs, technical vocabulary or illustrations.<\/p>\n<p>There will be 3 parts with total text length of 2150 to 2750 words. There will be 40 questions of 1 mark each. The duration of the test is one hour.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The writing section has two tasks:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In Task 1, you have to\u00a0describe some visual information in your own words\u00a0(a graph, table, chart or diagram). You need to write at least 150 words in about 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>In Task 2, you are given\u00a0a point of view, argument or problem which you need to discuss. You need to write at least 250 words in about 40 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You must write your answers using full sentences and not as notes or bullet points. This section is of one hour and the marking for Task 2 will be twice that of Task 1.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Speaking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview between the test taker and an examiner and is recorded. There are three parts in this section:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In Part 1 you will be asked about yourself and about\u00a0familiar topics, such as home and family, studies or interests.<\/li>\n<li>In Part 2 you are shown a card asking you to talk about a particular topic. After a minute to prepare, you must speak for up to two minutes and then answer general questions on the topic.<\/li>\n<li>In Part 3 further questions will be\u00a0asked about the topic in more detail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The time duration for this section is 11 to 14 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_IELTS_General\"><\/span><strong>What is IELTS General?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You need to do IELTS General Training test if you wish to migrate to a country where English is spoken, (e.g. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and UK) or if you wish to train or study in these countries at below degree level.<\/p>\n<p>The IELTS General test is made up of four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The Speaking and Listening tests are the same in both the\u00a0Academic\u00a0and the\u00a0General Training tests, but the Reading and Writing tests are different.

You will need to pick out important information, e.g. from notices, advertisements and timetables.<\/li>\n<li>The texts in Section 2 focus on work topics, for example, job descriptions, contracts, staff development and training materials.<\/li>\n<li>The text in Section 3 deals with a topic of general interest. This section is longer and more complex than the other two.

It focuses mainly on assessing a person\u2019s proficiency, confidence and comfort when communicating in English in daily situations. This prepares them to encounter situations in a native English-speaking environment.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0IELTS Academic\u00a0test is for students who are interested in pursuing higher education overseas. It is designed to assess whether a test taker is ready and able to use English as a medium of study.<\/p>\n<p>These two IELTS tests are designed to help you reach your goal. Knowing the difference between the two kinds of tests makes it easier to choose which may serve you best for what you want to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>The IELTS Listening and Speaking tests are the same for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training test whereas Writing and Reading tests are different in the Academic and General Training tests.<\/p>\n<p>The Academic test will contain topics suitable for anyone entering university or professional institutions. The General Training test will contain topics based on general interest. The\u00a0organization where you plan to work or study sets the requirements, so it\u2019s good to check with them to know which test is right for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_IELTS_Academics_Easier_Than_IELTS_General\"><\/span><strong>Is IELTS Academics Easier Than IELTS General?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IELTS General is relatively easier than IELTS Academics. The Speaking and Listening tests are the same in both the\u00a0Academic\u00a0and the\u00a0General Training tests, but the Reading and Writing tests are different.<\/p>\n<p>For Academic Writing task 1, you need to describe and analyze data in a bar\/ pie chart, graphs, tables or diagrams. On the other hand, for General Test Writing task 1 you should write a letter which can be a formal or informal letter to someone you don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>The difference in the tasks might make IELTS General test easier, but you shouldn&#8217;t choose it because you think it&#8217;s easier. You should select the test that is right for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crack_IELTS_with_Entri\"><\/span><strong>Crack IELTS with Entri<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Training with Entri helps you achieve an impressive 8+ band score in IELTS within 40 Days.
