    It is generally believed that IELTS is easier than TOEFL to be exact.

    The reason is that the new TOEFL is a computer-based test and lasts for 4 hours, which is not quite in line with the habits of Chinese test takers.

    IELTS is a 3-hour written test, which is equivalent to the Chinese written test, and there is a face-to-face speaking test with foreigners, which generally does not exceed 20 minutes.

    As for which group of people is suitable for which one depends on the habits of the landlord and your needs There is no absolute difference between the language points of the two types of tests The difference in the test itself is the difference in the way of the test About the need is to either study abroad or find a job Go to the United Kingdom and Australia and other countries Most people choose IELTS North America is TOEFL But good universities are recognized by both categories And there is also a formula for the conversion of IELTS and TOEFL scores For example, IELTS is about equal to the new TOEFL score of 95.

    At present, there is a trend of IELTS popularity, but the new TOEFL model is accepted by most people, and it will also become popular.

    IELTS is a good test center.

    The new TOEFL is biased towards technical terminology. And the exam is a computer-based test. It takes 5 to 6 hours.

    IELTS is biased towards life-oriented. Written exams. Test 3 to 4 hours.

    IELTS is more popular. I'm studying IELTS. I asked the people at the training center. They say that many people learn IELTS points.

    But if you want to study in the United States and Canada, of course, TOEFL is better. IELTS for those who go to the Commonwealth.

    But even though I studied in the United States and Canada, I studied IELTS. Because now the United States and Canada are slowly beginning to recognize IELTS. And Canada is TOEFL IELTS is OK.

    TOEFL is suitable for students who want to study in the United States, Canada, etc., and IELTS is suitable for students who want to study in the Commonwealth or those who immigrate to Canada, Australia and New Zealand. So which is more practical, TOEFL or IELTS?

    From the perspective of the scope of application: TOEFL is suitable for students who want to study in the United States, Canada and other countries, and IELTS is suitable for students who want to study in the Commonwealth or immigrate to Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If you want to study abroad, it is best to choose the school or institution you want to go to first, and then decide whether to take IELTS or TOEFL according to the specific requirements of this school or institution.

    From the perspective of test format, in terms of test content for IELTS and TOEFL, the content of the IELTS test is more life-oriented, and the content of the test will involve life scenes; The TOEFL test is more inclined to simulate the classroom environment and campus life, mainly to provide a reference for whether candidates can adapt to the study of foreign universities in the future. Relatedly, TOEFL has more preparation materials, and there are more repetitive questions than Zaolu, and the test is less difficult.

    Judging from the grades required by the school: in the United States, some schools require a higher IELTS score.

    In summary, the TOEFL test is relatively practical, but it is best to determine which test to choose first.

    The TOEFL vocabulary requirement is probably 8500 or above.

    First of all, in terms of listening, the TOEFL test has many more listening questions than level 6, and your listening level will be tested in both speaking and writing. If you don't have enough vocabulary, it's hard to make sense of fast-talking recordings with some accents. In addition to listening, which is a more obvious item, reading also requires a bit of vocabulary, you must be able to complete a 700-word passage in 20 minutes and answer 13-14 questions, and there are many vocabulary questions, if you can have a certain vocabulary as a foundation, you can save a lot of time to do questions about topics and concepts.

    The IELTS vocabulary must be around 6000-8000 to ensure a good score in the test. During IELTS preparation, candidates need to prepare their vocabulary in a targeted and strategic way to improve their vocabulary quickly. For example, you can memorize words by topic, use new words you have just learned in daily life, and use notes and example sentences to help you learn new words.

    There is a big difference between these two IELTS exams According to our conventional understanding, TOEFL is American English, while IELTS is British English, which is correct to a certain extent, but not absolute. First of all, British English and American English are the same for the most part, and the differences are very subtle, except for the pronunciation and some usage, which are more obviously different, and it is difficult to clearly distinguish other aspects.

    In addition, IELTS is not purely British English, but actually highlights the practical and international nature of English. Its proposition group is made up of experts from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, and it also plans to absorb experts from the United States and Canada. The subject matter of the essay and the pronunciation of the spoken language pay attention to the principle of diversity and internationalization.

    Since the TOEFL test contains a large number of academic background questions, there is no doubt that the test will be more difficult than IELTS.

    Although the new TOEFL is a computer-based test, due to the continuous update of the question type, the difficulty is also increasing, don't think that the machine is very useful, the machine is not fully understood before the test, and the difficulty of IELTS lies in the speaking part of the face of the examiner, for some students who are easy to be nervous during the test, this is a challenge It can be said that both exams are difficult, but as long as you are well prepared, what are you afraid of? Just take it easy when you take the test Professionally speaking, the difficulty of TOEFL and IELTS is incomparable, which means that you get a high score in IELTS, but you may not be able to get a high score in TOEFL

    IELTS is simpler than TOEFL, but TOEFL is easier to get a higher score than IELTS, and my classmates have taken IELTS and TOEFL, and their English proficiency is not different.

    But no matter how good your English is, it will be difficult for you to get an IELTS score of 8, and a score of 7 is quite good. Especially in IELTS writing, it is generally difficult to get a score of 7, but there are about 5 points for those who are very poor in English, and there is no saying who scored 3 or 4 points.

    TOEFL is different, they all say that TOEFL questions are more difficult, but there are scores of 100 or 90, of course, there are also 50 points, there are some ways to do this.
