could be . . . but from what i have learned, academic involves more than GT. there are graphs, etc. . . but for immigration purposes, i believe CIC is very specific that they will only accept GT module in IELTS
Well there is different criterion for marking of GT and Academic Modules; for General, it's a bit strict but on the other hand, General is easier than the Academic
For immigration after 26/6, only General Training IELTS is acceptable!
