		Reading</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">
		Writing</li>

	The Academic Reading section of IELTS exam consists of three longer and academically specific yet complex texts as compared to the four or five shorter and simpler texts in the General Training test.

	In case of the General Training writing test, you will be asked to write general description or letter while for the Academic test you will be given a chart or diagram with a word limit of 150 words.

	Suppose you are applying to get into university in Brazil or Australia or any other English speaking country&rsquo;s university to complete your graduate or post graduate degree, Sometime you need to appear for an IELTS exam although you are graduated from an English-speaking university in your own country, the foreign university will ask you to take an IELTS test. For such purpose the student will need to complete the Academic IELTS. Likewise if you are on a Working Holiday visa and has applied for a job in an English speaking nation like Australia or London. The company might ask you to submit your IELTS scores and again you have to appear for the IELTS Academic. However if you are planning to migrate to these countries to reside with your spouse or other family member then you have to take the general training test.
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="/ckfinder/userfiles/images/Academic%2044.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 195px;" /></h1>
