In an Academic examination, the reading passages are long and much more tricky; hence, training for the Academic reading exam is more strict. In the writing segment, the Academic exam uses graphs and other varieties of data that a test taker or a prospect should interpret. However, in the General Training, the writing test’s question is based upon some real-life situations and cases. There is no variance on the reading and the speaking area in both Academic and General Training.
