Question 1

What is the difference between Academic and General Training IELTS?

Accepted Answer

Both share the same Listening and Speaking sections. Academic IELTS uses study-oriented Reading and Writing (including a graph/chart Task 1) and is required for university entry; General Training uses everyday texts and a letter Task 1, and is used for migration and some work visas.

Question 2

How is IELTS Writing scored on RubricMark?

Accepted Answer

You submit your Task 1 or Task 2 response and RubricMark scores it against the IELTS public criteria — Task Achievement, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy — with quote-anchored notes. You attempt first, then get feedback.

Question 3

Are RubricMark IELTS tests real past papers?

Accepted Answer

No. RubricMark uses original, exam-spec practice and an exam-recall style bank across all four skills. It is timed practice with band-style feedback, not leaked test papers — use it alongside official IELTS materials.
