Question 1

What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training?

Accepted Answer

If you plan to migrate to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK or the USA, taking an IELTS General Training test makes sense. Or if you plan on studying in secondary education, or enrolling in vocational training, this might still be the right choice.

But if you plan to study in higher education or want professional registration in an English-speaking country, you might need to take an IELTS Academic test.

Question 2

What is the difference between IELTS and IELTS for UKVI?

Accepted Answer

IELTS and IELTS for UKVI are the exact same test in terms of format, content, scoring and level of difficulty. The only difference is an IELTS for UKVI test is approved by the UK Home Office for work, study and migration purposes.
If you take an IELTS for UKVI test, your test report form will be a little different to show you have taken an IELTS for UKVI test at an approved test centre.

Question 3

What is the price of the Academic for UKVI test?

Accepted Answer

The price of the Academic for UKVI test is approx $270 USD. Check the IELTS booking system for accurate prices.
