    This is a case-by-case analysis, I have taken both exams, and I will talk about my views below.

    IELTS: 1, is a test hosted by the United Kingdom and Australia, and it is said to be more suitable for studying in the Commonwealth region, but it is now recognized by American schools.

    2. The difficulty of IELTS lies in the fact that speaking is an interview, and candidates who have no experience of communicating with foreigners will be pitted here, and IELTS listening often comes out with some words that candidates have never seen as fill-in-the-blank answers, which has certain requirements for candidates' ability to listen to the pronunciation and spell it directly.

    3. IELTS uses the traditional paper-and-pencil test and interview method.

    TOEFL: 1, it is hosted by the United States, and if candidates also need to take the GRE GMAT, it is best to take the TOEFL together, because the awesome schools in the United States are more inclined to the combination of TOEFL and GRE GMAT.

    2. The difficulty of TOEFL is that the writing requirements are higher than IELTS, and the TOEFL speaking is a computer-based test, and everyone often interferes with each other when they sit in a classroom and speak together.

    3. Many traditional test takers are not suitable for the TOEFL computer-based test.

    My suggestion is that if you are still planning to take the GRE GMAT, it is best to take the TOEFL, otherwise IELTS is also a good choice, and the cow schools in the United States are more inclined to recognize the TOEFL, rather than recommending that you go to the United States to take the IELTS as some study abroad training institutions with ulterior motives say. But it doesn't matter if you go to other countries.

    1.The difference between TOEFL and IELTS is two: test formatIn terms of test format, IELTS provides two options: computer-based test and written test, while TOEFL only has computer-based test.

    2.Secondly, the computer-based IELTS test has multiple test dates a week and multiple tests a day, while TOEFL has an average of 5-6 tests a month, compared to the IELTS computer-based test, the frequency of the IELTS computer-based test is more, which also means that there are more opportunities for IELTS, even if you miss a test, you don't have to experience the anxiety and anxiety of waiting for a few days or months, and the candidate can better maintain her mentality.

    Difference Between New TOEFL and IELTS:

    Anyone who has taken the IELTS test will feel that it is very different from the TOFEL test we are familiar with. Indeed, IELTS and TOEFL are two completely different test systems, and they are very different in terms of test structure, test content, question type scoring criteria, test purpose, etc., and the specific differences are:

    1. The IELTS test focuses on testing the candidate's actual English ability, which is divided into two test formats: Class A and Class G, while TOEFL focuses on testing the candidate's comprehensive English language ability, especially through the comprehensive skills of speaking and writing, to effectively test whether the candidate has the ability to actively use English in the academic environment where English is the mother tongue.

    2. The IELTS test is divided into four independent parts: listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and the four parts are scored separately, and the final score is the average score of the four items; The total TOEFL test score is the sum of the four scores (out of 120 points); 3. The IELTS test question types are more flexible, such as fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple-choice questions (single-choice, multiple-choice), short-answer questions, completion questions, classification questions, matching questions, true/false questions, etc., and the TOEFL test question types are similar.

    4. The IELTS test is based on internationalization, and the knowledge of culture and geography involved is mostly in the UK and Australia. TOEFL is based on American English, and the listening is completely standard American pronunciation, and there are also American idioms and slang words, involving a lot of content about American history, culture, politics, geography and other aspects.

    5. IELTS test is widely used and can be used for study abroad, immigration, training, etc., with higher credibility; TOEFL is only used to study abroad, but IELTS scores are only used for a recognition of the applicant's English proficiency by the receiving institution, and usually cannot be used directly to apply for scholarships, while TOEFL scores can be used to apply for scholarships;

    In short, there are many differences between IELTS and TOEFLs, and there is no easy score conversion between the two, so test preparers should prepare well for the test of their choice.

    IELTS is suitable for: high school and above, those who intend to go abroad or want to have an authoritative English certificate.

    The IELTS test is not very demanding in terms of vocabulary, but it is very life-like. Compared with the traditional English test, the IELTS test focuses more on the practical skills of the English language, such as its listening part is closely integrated with reality.

    TOEFL is suitable for: Students who want to study in the United States, Canada, and other countries. Currently, the TOEFL test measures candidates' comprehension and communication skills; More emphasis is placed on assessing candidates' practical abilities in English, including speaking and discussing, participating in study groups, and writing**.

    At the same time, the TOEFL test uses an overall scoring scale, and the corpus is taken from the real academic language environment.

    If you compare TOEFL in terms of vocabulary, it is more difficult than IELTS.

    TOEFL is a test designed for the needs of universities in North America, and IELTS is a test required by universities in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. Both exams are pretty much the same. I have taken the TOEFL test and find it more difficult, especially after the reform.

    Immerse the listening part into writing and speaking, and pay more attention to the cultivation of ability rather than simply taking exams.

    The TOEFL test is more specialized in the aspects involved, while the IELTS is oriented towards life.

    You can search online for foreign institutions that accept IELTS. Generally speaking, foreign schools require IELTS above (not reading a language school), and TOEFL scores vary greatly.

    What is the difference between "IELTS" and "TOEFL"? The main differences between them are: First, the exam time is different, and the time for releasing the results is also different.

    The "IELTS" test is held every month in major cities in China, and the test results are available in 2 to 3 weeks; The "TOEFL" test is only tested 4 times a year and a month, and it takes 2 to 3 months to produce results, compared with "IELTS", the number of tests is less and the results are slow. The second is that the subjects of the test are different, and the "IELTS" test adds an oral test, while the "TOEFL" test does not have speaking. In addition to these two differences, the difficulty of the test questions cannot be compared, because there is a certain difference in the principles of the two questions.

    Some students are accustomed to the "TOEFL" test score is not allowed to consult due to more practice, and only one copy of the transcript is given to the candidate, which is sent by the post office, and the envelope is carefully filled in by the candidate or the candidate's parents before the test, and there is no responsibility for the loss. In addition, the most important difference is that "IELTS" emphasizes that candidates do not memorize by rote, but instead require candidates to use the language flexibly. Most of them are closely related to the reality of life, especially focusing on speaking and writing, and there are more subjective questions than TOEFL, and the forms are more diverse, so many people regard passing the "IELTS" test as one of the main means to measure their English application ability.

    However, it is not that TOEFL is not important, the TOEFL test is still scientific and rigorous, its test is more difficult, and the vocabulary requirements are higher, which is essential for learning the basic skills of English.

    Generally speaking, people who have strong practical English skills and those who work in foreign companies will have better IELTS scores, while school students are easy to get high scores on the TOEFL. The TOEFL only focuses on the theory test and is not applicable to real life, you may take the TOEFL, but you may not necessarily speak English; As soon as the candidates who take the "IELTS" test get on the plane, they can talk to foreigners in English.

    The IELTS test is quite different from the TOEFL test in that it does not emphasize rote memorization, but requires flexible use of language. It is closely related to the reality of life, especially focusing on speaking and writing, and the forms are more diverse, and the subjective questions are more than TOEFL, which is currently an important criterion for overseas schools to admit Chinese students. IELTS out of 9 is the lowest requirement for studying abroad, and TOEFL 550 is the lowest requirement.

    1. Differences: 1Different exam formats.

    TOEFL: Most of the areas are computer-based tests, and the four subjects of listening, speaking, reading and writing are computer-based tests. A few areas also have pen and paper forms.
