IELTS General Training
Global 🌍IELTS General Training — for migration, work and secondary education: everyday reading, letter writing, Listening and Speaking.
📏 IELTS General Training is scored on a 9-band scale. Listening, Writing and Speaking are marked as in Academic; Reading uses a stricter conversion (about 30 of 40 correct for band 6, against 23 in Academic). Migration routes usually set a minimum band in each skill.
