The Academic Module is apt if you are seeking admissions into undergraduate and postgraduate courses in an English speaking country or into a university program that is taught in English.

The General Training Module is designed to test the basic survival skills in a broad social and educational context. It is for candidates who are going to English speaking countries to complete their secondary education, to undertake work experience or training programmes, or for immigration into Australia, Canada or New Zealand.

Please note that it is the responsibility of the candidate to inform the test centre whether they wish to take the Academic or General Training Modules. Centres are not responsible for providing this information. It must be noted that it may not be possible to change module later or on the day of the test.

IELTS has four parts – Listening (30 minutes), Reading (60 minutes), Writing (60 minutes) and Speaking (11–14 minutes). The total test time is 2 hours and 45 minutes. The Listening, Reading and Writing tests are done in one sitting. The Speaking test may be on the same day or up to seven days before or after the other tests

That would simply put you in the Majority! 😋Tongue-in-cheek humour apart, IELTS, like most other tests, is known to disappoint test takers by giving them scores that are much lower than what they expect. This is usually because most people do not understand the scoring mechanism.

That is not the end however. If you are absolutely certain, you can always apply for a re-evaluation! And if your scores do improve, the entire re-evaluation fee is refunded!

Start Slow

One of the most important things to know about IELTS preparation is that you have to start slow. Many test takers start with downloading or collecting a lot of material and start diving into the deep end. This will only result in anxiety as your go ahead.

Make a Strength Map

There are definitely going to be areas that you are good at. At the very beginning, it is important for you to have a clear understanding of areas that you are strong in. This will help you get an understanding of your 'worst' possible score.

How To Make a Strength Map

One of the best ways to make a Strength Map is to take full-length tests. Look at each section of IELTS (Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking) and make a separate list of areas you are particularly good at.

Basic Details

IELTS General Training is not very different from the academic version. In the General Training version of the test, the biggest difference is in the first writing task. The first writing task in this version of the test is letter writing. Candidates are asked to write a letter in no less than 150 words based on the situation presented to them. The task rubric also presents the candidates with an outline for the content. This in fact makes the task easier than what it is in the academic version of the exam.

Duration

The duration of the IELTS General Training is also pretty much the same. The coaching will be for a period of 4 weeks with a validity of six months. You can schedule the coaching according to your convenience. You can space out individual sessions or individual modules in any manner you wish over a period of six months. You have the additional flexibility of being able to attend any or all sessions we conduct – whether they are classroom sessions or online sessions. We suggest candidates to take a free evaluated mock test to see if they need training. We, at First Academy pride ourselves in being the best and this extends to our business practices too!

Who Should Take IELTS General

IELTS General Training is designed for those who wish to immigrate to an English-speaking country or apply for jobs in organisations where English is the primary language of communication. The test is designed to assess a candidate’s proficiency in English across the four modes of communication – reading, listening, speaking, and writing. A candidate is scored individually across the four modules along with receiving an overall score. The scores determine the candidates level based on the CEFR framework which is a standardised format of language assessment which is accepted across the world.

Our IELTS preparation course is the most reviewed and the most sought-after program across India. The course is designed and delivered by some of the best trainers in India. At First Academy, our trainers undergo a stringent evaluation and assessment process before being thoroughly trained for delivering content to exacting standards. The trainers conform to the standards set by Cambridge Assessment English to deliver the best possible training. The course itself spans 4 weeks and provides students with the option to take it at their own place. The course is available both as an online program and an in-classroom training course.

Both these IELTS preparation courses give learners an option to stagger their learning over a period of 6 months. This is done to cater to all levels of learners. While those who are proficient in English can complete the course in as little as a week, those who are at the basic or the intermediate level can pace and space their learning to match their needs. Many basic learners take one module before starting practice on that module. Once they reach a level of comfort, they then move to other modules.

The IELTS preparation course includes everything that learners need. From a notebook to course material that is exclusive to learners of First Academy, to access to a vast repository of standardised IELTS material and grammar practice to keep them in touch with the language all through the duration of the programme. The online practice portal includes grammar resources, vocabulary resources for IELTS along with access to First Academy’s Telegram channel that keeps posting learning resources and quizzes to keep the learners entertained while improving their language proficiency. Beyond this there is also access to a frequently updated blog that gives the latest updates on the world of IELTS and admissions into US universities.

This will give them a deeper understanding of how to tackle questions while allowing them an opportunity to immediately clarify any doubts they might have right at the time of learning.
