I am solving some of the IELTS general reading test online, and its look like General IELTS reading is different than academic reading...

Does it is true ?? And if so what are the difference ?

Yes, GT reading module is very different from AT. It's simpler and the passages are of general interest, not very academic. ielts-exam.net has good GT practice tests.

Yes, its different in a few ways.

1. It has 5 passages in total as opposed to 3 in Academic module. At 40 each, the number of questions however remain the same.
2. It is easier in terms of language and topics are of general interest.
3. When compared to the questions in Academic module , the questions seem to be trickier.
4. The marking is slightly stricter in General Reading.
