The IELTS offers two formats: Academic and General Training. Here’s how IELTS exam dates differ:

Common Exam Dates

1. Both formats are available on many of the same test dates, especially for paper-based tests.
2. Check specific schedules for your chosen test center as availability may vary.

Frequency

1. Academic IELTS is offered more frequently due to higher demand from students.
2. General Training is offered less often but still regularly available throughout the year.

Booking Tips

If taking the General Training test, book earlier to ensure availability, especially in smaller test centers.
