IELTS Preparation
The IELTS test has two
forms: the Academic test (or module) and the General Training test (or module).
The module that you take depends on the reason that you are taking it for.
Generally speaking, the Academic Module is for those people who are trying to
gain entry onto undergraduate or postgraduate education courses or for
professional reasons. The General Training Module is for those people who wish
to join some kinds of vocational or training courses, secondary schools or for
immigration purposes.

Both Academic and General
Training modules try and reflect real life situations to test whether a
candidate would survive in English speaking social and academic environments.
For example, the Part 2 section of the speaking asks candidates to talk, after
1 minute’s preparation, for 1 to 2 minutes on a given general topic. This would
test General Training candidates to see if they could give a “work related
presentation” to fellow work colleagues and would test Academic candidates if
they can give a “university style presentation” to fellow students. It tests
whether candidates have the English language capability to perform these tasks
under some kind of pressure.
The IELTS test (both
Academic and General Training modules) is divided into four parts: reading,
writing, listening and speaking. The listening and speaking tests are exactly
the same for the Academic and General Training modules but the reading and
writing tests are different. Thus the test appears like this (in the order that
you will take the different parts):
