SPH PALEMBANG SMA IELTS TA24/25

There are two types of IELTS test which is the Academic IELTS and General Training IELTS. It is important that you choose the correct test to apply. The institution or agency that will be receiving your scores will tell you which exam to take.

If you are planning on taking an undergraduate or postgraduate course at an English college or university, you should take the Academic Training exam. Your entrance to an institution will be based on this exam. You might also need to take the Academic Training exam if you are taking the IELTS for professional purposes. 

Check with the organization (or university) you are affiliated to find out what its requirements are. The General Training exam tests the English language communication skills or general communication skills that are needed for those who want to live and work in English speaking countries.

Although the Reading and Writing modules of the Academic exam measure the candidate's ability to function in a higher educational institution, a range of educational and social contexts are used in the Listening and Speaking sections of both tests. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same in both the Academic and General tests.

In IELTS, there are four skills that will be assessed: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. There are two different IELTS modules: Academic and General Training. The Speaking and Listening tests are the same in both modules, but the Reading and Writing tests are different. 

Academic module

Choose this if you wish to study at undergraduate or postgraduate levels, or if you are seeking professional registration, e.g. doctors and nurses.

General Training module

Choose this if you wish to migrate to an English-speaking country, (e.g. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK) or if you wish to train or study at below degree level.
