Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

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???
