Have you ever questioned how that friend of yours obtained admission into their dream university abroad?
To study abroad, field knowledge is paramount but other than that it is mandatory that the person should hold a good command of the English language which happens to be the universally accepted language. This can be done by taking the IELTS test i.e., “International English Language Testing System” by the person who wants to study or work abroad where English is the prime language of communication. It generally classifies candidates on the 9-band scale to recognize the proficiency level of each candidate which checks one’s ability in the English language.In addition to that, there are two categories of IELTS exams: IELTS Academic and IELTS General test. And, because of the two options, aspirants usually get perplexed about the difference between Academic and General IELTS.
Both types of IELTS tests are globally recognized. So, now the question: which test is right for you? If you are planning to study for an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at a university where English is the prime language of instruction or if you need to provide proof of English language proficiency for specialized registration in a specific field, you should take the IELTS Academic test. On the contrary, if you are planning to work or immigrate to an English-speaking country, you should take the IELTS General test.
