Is the IELTS General Training Module easier than the Academic Module?
No. Both modules are set at exactly the same level of language proficiency. As part of the test development process the test questions are pre-tested globally to ensure that levels of difficulty are directly calibrated to internal test levels and as such you can be sure that your score, whether it is in the General Training or Academic Modules, is an accurate, valid and reliable measurement of your English language ability in Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
