class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">IELTS- International English Language Testing System is an English language proficiency test for non-English language speakers. IELTS is jointly managed by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">IELTS is taken to examine the Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing eligibility. These are the four modules of IELTS. IELTS is graded on a scale of 1-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_take_IELTS\"><\/span><strong>Why take IELTS?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The leading experts build the structure of language assessment, and it is taken to evaluate a student\u2019s efficiency to study, live and work in an English-speaking country. Obtaining a high IELTS score will help students enrol in a reputed international university or institute. Besides, the career gaining will also add up benefits in the career. A student can get the dream job, and a good score also standardized the CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_IELTS\"><\/span><strong>Types of IELTS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Usually, there are two types of&nbsp;<strong>IELTS tests&nbsp;<\/strong>available. They are- IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. However, there is also an IELTS test named IELTS life Skills available for people who want to settle with family in the UK.&nbsp; Let\u2019s know about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IELTS_Academic\"><\/span><strong>IELTS Academic-<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">IELTS Academic is for students who want to take higher studies in an English-speaking country. For professional registration purposes, this&nbsp;<strong>IELTS Academic test<\/strong>&nbsp;can be taken. Basically, those who want to pursue graduation, post-graduation, or higher degrees should take an IELTS Academic test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IELTS_General_training\"><\/span><strong>IELTS General training<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">IELTS general training is for you if you don\u2019t want to pursue higher education or go to an English-speaking country for migration or working purposes. It is a little bit easier than the IELTS academic. Besides, if you want to take a course below degree level, the IELTS general training course is probably best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IELTS_Life_Skills\"><\/span><strong>IELTS Life Skills<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>IELTS Life Skills<\/strong>&nbsp;is an English language test through which a person can prove their English speaking and listening proficiency based on the CEFR- Common European Framework of Reference levels A1, A2, and B1.

( It is noted that the IELTS Life Skills A2 Speaking and Listening is only available in the UK. The partners or the parents of the family route visa will need to pass a speaking and listening test at level A2 after two-and-a-half years of staying in the UK for the five-year partner or parent route settlement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The IELTS Life Skills B1 test is for you if you are applying for UK citizenship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading about the types of IELTS, I hope you get the answer to which IELTS test you should choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_IELTS_Academic_General_Training_and_Life_Skills\"><\/span><strong>Difference between IELTS Academic, General Training, and Life Skills<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training is in its features. The two of the four sections- Reading and Writing, are different here. On the other hand, the listening and speaking sections have no changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reading Test of the IELTS Academic exam needs to read three longer and more complicated texts. On the other hand, IELTS General Training has four or five simpler and shorter texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speaking and listening section is the same in both sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">IELTS Life Skills is a Secure English Language Test version of IELTS approved by the UK government.
