Hey there, I did the academic test first and got a 7.5 in the reading and 9's in all the others, so my migration agent advised me to do general and it was definitely easier however, for some reason I just couldn't get to grips with the listening test and ended up sitting the general test 3 times!!! Very frustrating but hey I got my visa granted on Tuesday so it's all in the past now! Good luck with your next test!
