General vs Academic IELTS??? Need advice from Accountants...

PLAC · 2012-02-05 20:53:05

hi po! i have a friend who is an accountant. she got favorable assessment from CPAA as General Accountant. We were evaluating her points and medyo kapos sya from getting 65 points because of her age. her plan is to retake IELTS and aim for 8 band score in order for her to get the max points for enlish language ability. the question is, ok lang bah if she will take the general IELTS test instead of academic???
