KSH Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I recently took the academic IELTS test and needed to get 8's in all components to get the 20 points towards the 189 visa. However only needed 7 across the board for ANMAC skills assesment (Im a nurse) My scores were: Reading - 8 Listening - 8 Writing -7 Speaking - 8.5 So I have enough for ANMAC but not the visa, my question is can I just take the General IELTS now to try and get the 8 or do I have to do the academic again. Im assuming the General is a bit easier than the academic version. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Also have a look at the Pearson test as I understand that is more user friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JobyJo Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 The speaking and listening is the exact same test as the academic. The writing and reading are a little easier. It was the reading that I found most difficult on both academic and general but overall the general was easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
