Find the right test for you
IELTS offers a range of tests, giving you the flexibility to choose the right test for your needs.
In both the General Training and the Academic tests, the Speaking and Listening sections are the same. However, the Reading and Writing sections of these tests differ. They have been designed to assess language ability that is more relevant for each specific sector.
