more challenge and is closer to the real test. The classes

Introduction to IELTS
IELTS is an English exam that tests your knowledge of
academic and general English. IELTS has four different
sections: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
IELTS is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia,
and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.
The maximum score on IELTS is band 9, but even native
speakers are unlikely to achieve this score. Most students try
to score between band 6 and band 7. At Higher Score® at LSC Language Studies
Canada our goal is to help every IELTS student achieve a band score of
6.5 to 7.5, depending on their need.
Two Versions of IELTS: Academic and General
IELTS has two versions: academic and general. The academic
version, of course, is useful for entering university in
Canada or other countries like the UK, the USA and Austalia. The
general version of IELTS is mainly for people who want to improve
their general English or become a permanent resident of
Canada, the UK or Australia.
Academic and General IELTS have the same listening and
speaking sections, but the reading and writing sections are
different. The general reading section has shorter reading
passages than the academic exam, but the question types are
the same. The general writing section includes writing a
letter and an essay; the academic writing section includes
writing a report and an essay.
The Higher Score® IELTS course practices both
academic and general IELTS, but mainly focuses on academic IELTS
because it is more useful for everyone.
Both versions of IELTS can be challenging, and many students find it hard to achieve the score they need. The good news is that
Higher Score® teachers can help you learn exam thinking, which
will give you a big advantage during the test and help you after
you enter university or become a permanent resident of
Canada or another country.
