In this episode, I interview Rachel, an experienced English language, IELTS and OET trainer. We talk about the differences between OET and IELTS exam, both the General and Academic version. We share our experiences of preparing candidates for IELTS examination and what makes it is a challenging English exam. We also talk about how IELTS Academic Training can help you with university requirements and what language skills you need to achieve IELTS Band 7.0 or higher. We also discuss differences between IELTS academic essays and university-level essay and how IELTS preparation cannot substitute university preparation courses, and how native speakers of English can benefit from academic writing classes as well. If you're interested in taking IELTS, I recommend that you grab Rachel's free resources '3 fatal speaking mistakes IELTS candidates make' from her website https://www.rachelpratley.com
