Re: IELTS Vs TOEFL Easier
Hey!!!! The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and IELTS (International English Language Testing System) are two of the most widely-accepted tests to certify your English proficiency The TOEFL offers only academic English; the IELTS offers an academic option as well as a general test; this is generally the preferred test for immigration purposes to the UK and Canada. The IELTS academic test and the TOEFL compared to the IELTS general test are both more difficult, but they are usually the only options if you want to study at any level higher than secondary school If both IELTS and TOEFL are applicable to your needs, use the following guidelines to decide which test to take: Accent: Choose IELTS if you are comfortable with British accent or TOEFL if you are more at ease with American accent. Typing or Writing: If your typing speed is not good then don’t take TOEFL, as it requires you to type your essay answer. IELTS, on the other hand, allows you to write your essay answer. Test duration: IELTS is a shorter exam than TOEFL requiring 2 hours 45 minutes. TOEFL takes about 4 hours to complete. So if you want to give a shorter exam, then go for IELTS. Types of Questions: TOEFL contains only multiple choice questions, whereas IELTS has other formats of questions like fill in the gaps and matching along with multiple choice questions. You can choose the exam according to the question format you prefer. Schools in the US or UK: If you are applying for an institution in US, then consider taking TOEFL since it is more widely accepted in the US. For UK, IELTS is the preferred choice.
