IELTS Academic
Which test is best for me?
Choose academic English test for studying.
IELTS Academic is designed for people planning to study in higher education or those seeking professional registration. It assesses whether you are ready to begin studying or training in an environment where English is the language used.
If you’re planning to move overseas to an English speaking country and are seeking professional registration, it is likely that you will be asked to provide evidence of your English language ability. IELTS results are accepted by many professional associations that have set minimum language requirements. Most of these associations request an IELTS Academic result, but it is a good idea to contact the organisation to confirm.
Not sure which test is right for you?
The IELTS test is offered in two formats, IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training.
The IELTS test assesses your abilities in listening, reading, writing and speaking. Choose the test that matches your needs and English skills.
The Listening and Speaking tests are the same for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. However the Reading and Writing tests are different.
