IELTS Academic and General Training are two wholly separate types of test, for two different purposes. While some individual organisations may accept an Academic result in the place of General Training, this decision is up to them. You will need to contact your specific organisation to learn more.

Since IELTS is an individual English-language proficiency test, no other test results will be able to count towards your IELTS score.

Yes, it is best to contact your local test centre as early as possible informing them about your special needs.

Giving adequate notice is necessary for the modified test versions to be prepared or special administrative arrangements to be made.

IELTS uses a 9-band scoring system to measure and report test scores in a consistent manner. You receive individual band scores for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking and an Overall Band Score on a band scale from one to nine.

The Speaking and Writing tests are marked by certificated IELTS examiners using the IELTS Speaking and Writing assessment criteria. Check out our how IELTS is marked page for more information on this.

The General Training test costs approx $245 USD. Check the IELTS booking system for accurate prices.
