The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both types of the IELTS test. The reading and writing sections are different depending on which type of IELTS test is chosen.<\/p>\n<p>The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or university programs. The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers and magazines. In the listening section of IELTS they often use British or Australian accents so a candidate might need to get used to these accents.
