Hi. I´m currently studying for the CAE test... I want to know if IELTS is a lot harder than CAE.
it looks a lot more specific but is it harder?
thanks!
It's hard to say because the marking scheme is different- you don't pass or fail IELTS. As with any of these exams, it's a question of training and practice, so someone familiar with the IELTS exam won't find it as difficult as you might looking at it. It also depends what you want the exam for- IELTS is designed for academic entry, so it is more restricted in its scope.
