Which IELTS test to practice
For Australian universities, practice IELTS Academic. It is the IELTS test for study at undergraduate or postgraduate level. For the Student visa (subclass 500), the Department of Home Affairs accepts IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training at the same bands. Listening and Speaking are the same in both; only Reading and Writing differ.
The score to aim for
Each university sets its own IELTS score for its courses. The Student visa also sets a minimum overall band of 6.0. This drops to 5.5 if your main course is packaged with at least 10 weeks of English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS), a Foundation program or an eligible Pathway program, and to 5.0 with at least 20 weeks of ELICOS.
Before you book the real test
Home Affairs does not accept English tests delivered entirely online, including IELTS Online. In a course package, the last course is your main course, and it decides the English evidence you must give. Check before you book: Student visa (subclass 500).
