Wherein Academic writing task 1 candidate usually asked to describe facts or figures presented in one or more graphs, charts or tables on a given topic and in task1 of General training category students are asked to write a personal response in the form of an informal or formal letter of at least 150 words.
Task 2 starts after IELTS academic writing task 1 in which students of both the categories have to write an essay on the given topic but the difference here is that the topic given to the General category is related to academics and Academic category is related to public/social issue and should also be written in casual/semi-formal style and formal style respectively. Out of all 4 aspects, the most important and contributing part in testing the English proficiency is the IELTS writing test. And if we talk about the validation of scorecard then this test is the most popular and widely accepted across the globe.
