Default IELTS Test

Hi all,

In order to get extra points for English, it states that you need to get a minimum 7.0 in an IELTS test.

Can this be in either test (Academic or General)?

Thanks,
Doug

If its for immigration purposes, it has to be General.

Unless you're applying under a student visa, or intend to study there, it's academic.

It doesn't *have* to be general at all. For extra points it can be either, some occupations require academic for skills assessment. Most people will do general as it is easier but I have seen one or two take academic as they want to do it quick and couldn't get a test date for general.

Thanks for your reply BermudaShorts.

I was just a little confused as in the Introduction of New Points Test document DIAC released the other week, for extra points it just states 'IELTS'.

It's great I can do either, as there seems to be alot more academic tests going on than general!!
