Question: what is the difference between ielts and cae?
Answer: Both test your main English skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking. CAE has a 'grammar' part. An important difference between IELTS and CAE is that IELTS is only valid for 2 years, whereas CAE doesn't have an expiration date. ... A pass grade in CAE would be the equivalent of about 7.0 in IELTS.
