THE AMBIT NOTEBOOK · IELTS · 3 MIN READ

General or Academic? Find your IELTS direction.

Start with where you want to go, then work back to the test you need.

01

Begin with the requirement

Ask the university, professional body or application authority which test and scores it accepts. The right version is determined by your destination, not simply by which test seems easier.

02

Understand the focus

General Training uses practical reading and letter-writing contexts. Academic preparation includes academic reading and describing visual information. Both need a clear approach to essay writing and speaking.

03

Build your preparation around you

Use an initial practice exercise to find your strengths, then spend more time on the skills that need attention. A trial class is a useful place to discuss your target and schedule.

General preparation guidance. Check current official test details and your receiving organization’s requirements before booking.
