Wassalam,

1) Just practice some tests.
2) C grader in English As a First Language or Second? If First, a two week prep would do. If second, you are gonna need at least a month.
3) Visit www.ielts.org for such details.
4) 7 or above.
5) Same difficulty level as TOEFL. A lot easier than SAT.

Hi,

I gave the IELTS Academic exam in March 2013. The Academic and General training modules are two different formats of the IELTS exams for different purposes. The IELTS Academic module is for those candidates who want to pursue undergraduate or postgraduate studies at college/university level in other countries. General Training module is for immigration purposes. Majority of students are required to give IELTS academic module. I think you too should sit the Academic module.

As for your other questions;
1. I found 'Insight into IELTS' and Cambridge IELTS 8,7, 6 (past exam papers books) real helpful. You can also check ielts-simon.com (an excellent and helpful website run by an ex-IELTS examiner)
2. I studied for a month along with FSc II classes and got overall band 8 (listening 8.5, reading 7, writing 8, speaking 8). But I have secured 90% in Fsc and Matric English exams. So, I think, you should prepare for two months (one month study, one month practice)
3. The IELTS exam dates for 2013 are given on the website; ielts.org/test_takers_information/how_do_i_register/test_dates.aspx
4.A good score on IELTS is overall band 7 out of band 9 (total). All the modules Listening, reading, writing and speaking are also individually maked out of total band 9 score) You should aim at band 7 in all four skills. This is the basic requirement of all international colleges and universities.
5. It's way easier than SAT and a bit harder than TOEFL.

I'll be glad to help if you need anything else.

Thanks
