IELTS Reading Tip no.38: First GT then AT
There is going to be difference in the reading sections of the Academic and General Training versions, but there is a technique which I am going to tell you. You should start your reading practice from the passages of General Training practice exams and it the last few weeks of your practice you should practice form the academic version. It does not matter which version you are attempting, you just have to follow the technique which I mentioned earlier.
